Seattle Fire Department had a big turnout two days in a row with a multitude of equipment this morning parked at 34th & Blaine. This time a homeowner on West Blaine Street near Magnolia Boulevard goes to her backyard to find letters scattered all over the lawn and an unknown white powder inside the box.
The homeowner, Sonny Sine, called the post office to describe the find, who then told her to call police.
She spoke exclusively with Magnolia Voice.
?When I came home I noticed my mail was strewn outside,? she explains.??I looked in my mailbox and I saw this white stuff and I said, ?Geez I don?t know what this is.’?
The fire department set up an assessment station outside the home to field test samples. Firefighters who spoke with Magnolia Voice said there wasn?t much of a possibility anything was too dangerous.
One firefighter putting on bunker gear said, ?You never know.?
“I didn?t expect this. My goodness,? exclaimed Sine.
