From Times Wire Reports
A heavily traveled bridge across Lake Washington, connecting Seattle and its eastern suburbs, was closed during evening rush hour after three men in a pickup yelled to a city bus driver that there was a bomb aboard. The bus stopped near the east end of the Evergreen Point Floating Bridge and let the passengers off. Then the bridge was closed while a bomb squad inspected the bus. No explosives were found. The bridge reopened about three hours later. The bus driver reportedly got the license number of the pickup involved.
