Very quiet downtown. Federal building and three other large buildings evacuated. Many businesses in "lockdown"; that is, you must have identification to enter. I see numerous emergency vehicles on the street, parked, with lights on, but no reports of incidents. Traffic nonexistent (and THAT's saying something hereabouts). Reports Canadian border closed are unconfirmed. No news on KAL flight downed north of here. No cars being transported on ferries but all are running in passenger-only mode. Most of the people at my company (downtown) have gone home.
