Threat called into Bellingham Planned Parenthood office
BELLINGHAM, Wash. -- Several people were evacuated when a bomb threat was phoned in to a Planned Parenthood office Thursday morning.
Lt. Steve Felmley with Bellingham police say the threat was received around 10:20 a.m. at the Mt. Baker office, located at 1530 Ellis Street.
Police found an unclaimed briefcase near the office and called in the bomb squad. They then evacuated the office and a nearby Grocery Outlet.

The Bellingham Herald reports a small group of abortion protesters were outside the clinic at 9 a.m. for a planned protest, but police do not believe any of those there had anything to do with the bomb threat.
