A recent bomb threat that targeted a state office building was delivered via email, according to Olympia police.
Police announced the update via its weekly newsletter about area crimes for the week of Oct. 14-20.
The bomb threat was made Oct. 18.
“The bomb threat reported earlier in the week was from a spam email out of a foreign county,” police officials said in the newsletter, adding that the Washington State Patrol bomb squad responded and determined it was not a credible threat.
However, the threat prompted Olympia police to clear the area around Quince Street Southeast early on the morning of Oct. 18.
