FEDERAL WAY, Wash. (AP) - A bomb scare has ended at a bulk mail processing center in Federal Way.

A Postal Service spokesman, Ernie Swanson, says about 250 workers who were evacuated were allowed to return to work about noon Tuesday.

He says a manager called police after a worker found two suspicious devices about 8:30 a.m. Swanson says they appeared to be electronic, but he couldn't say what they are or why they appeared dangerous.

A police spokesman, Raymond Bunk, says they were about 2-by-6 inches in size. They were examined by a bomb squad.

The bulk mail center handles packages and bundles of advertising mail.
