SEATTLE (AP) — The Port of Seattle says military munitions have been found several times this year in the water near Terminal 91 in Elliott Bay near Magnolia.

Seattlepi.com reports the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is investigating whether more munitions are present.

The Port says the munitions are likely from World War II, when the terminal was used by the military. Officials say the munitions do not pose a threat to the busy cruise ship terminal.

Divers first found the discarded military munitions in April and more was found over the summer. The port says all were safely removed.
