Seattle's Ferry Terminal

Just days after the FBI posted an alert about two "middle eastern" men acting suspiciously aboard Seattle ferry boats, comes word that today a Seattle ferry had to be evacuated when a "suspicious package" was found.

From AP, via KOMOTV:

A "suspicious package" was found at the height of the Wednesday morning commute on one of the largest ferries in the Washington state fleet, idling the vessel for about an hour.
...
Patrol Sgt. Craig H. Johnson would not disclose any details on the object, describing it only as a "suspicious package," but said investigators determined it did not pose any immediate threat and carried it off the vessel for further examination.
...
Earlier information from law enformcement officials indicating that the package contained sparklers was erroneous.
...
No arrests were made and no identified individuals were being sought, but "we'd like to find the person who left it there," Johnson said.
