Ferry service between Seattle, Bainbridge Island resumes after bomb threat

Ferry service between Bainbridge, Bremerton, and Seattle was suspended Sunday morning following a bomb threat.

SEATTLE — Ferry service to and from Seattle resumed normal service following an anonymous bomb threat Sunday morning.

The threat was made shortly after 10:15 a.m., around the same time the ferry "Tacoma" departed from Bainbridge Island to Seattle, according to state ferry spokesperson Ian Sterling.

Service between Seattle, Bainbridge, and Bremerton was suspended while law enforcement swept the ferry - which was docked in Seattle - and the Bainbridge terminal. 

Colman Dock reopened just before 1 p.m. 

The Coast Guard approved resuming all ferry service around 1:10 p.m. after Washington State Patrol K9 teams swept the vessel and terminals and did not find anything suspicious, according to state patrol.

"We will continue to investigate the circumstances around this threat," state patrol's Homeland Security Division tweeted.
