On Thursday, the inter-island ferry was evacuated after ferry workers reported a suspicious device of gas containers with protruding wires.

The report to 911 that a “woman was acting strange” on an Evergreen State Ferry came in at about 11 a.m. Ferry workers then reported that they had seen a suspicious device in her car.

The ferry was evacuated and the bomb squad determined the device was not dangerous.

“If there is something suspicious, it is routine for us to call the bomb squad and make sure everything is safe,” said Undersheriff Bruce Distler.

According to Distler, the gas containers contained stereo speakers and the wires of the speakers were hanging outside of the containers.

“We have to take steps to protect the public until we know there isn’t an issue,” said Distler.

He added that the woman was taken to a medical facility to be evaluated.

The investigation is closed.
