BURIEN, Wash. (AP) — A suitcase left at the Burien Transit Center looked suspicious because it was chained to a bus schedule sign.

It was reported by a Metro Transit driver around midnight Sunday and a King County bomb squad responded.

Officers sent a robot to blast apart the suitcase. It held only some clothes.

The transit center was closed for about three hours but reopened in time for the Monday morning commute.
