Election offices in King, Pierce, Skagit and Spokane counties were evacuated Wednesday, three of which received a white powdery substance in the mail.

The Pierce County Elections Center in Tacoma evacuated briefly after an envelope received through regular mail, not a ballot, was opened by an employee. It had a white, powdery substance inside, according to Pierce County Auditor Linda Farmer.

Officials called 911 and everyone immediately left the building at about 8:30 a.m.

A Tacoma Fire hazmat team responded and the substance tested presumptively as baking soda. Everyone returned to work by about 11 a.m.

The FBI and the United States Postal Inspection Service were notified and Tacoma Police are investigating.

The same thing happened at the King County Elections headquarters in Renton.

At 10:58 a.m., Renton Police officers were dispatched to 919 Southwest Grady Way for a report of a parcel that contained a white powdery substance.

The building was evacuated as a precaution, according to the Renton Police Department.

We also confirmed that the Skagit County Elections office evacuated, but it is not yet known if white powder was found at that office, as well.

In addition to those incidents, the Spokane County Elections Office also evacuated, according to a social media post at 11:30 a.m. from KXLY4.

A county employee similarly said a white, powdery substance was found.

KXLY reported that the county will not release election results as planned on Wednesday while the office is being decontaminated.

The next ballot drop will be on Thursday.

No injuries were reported in any of the cases.

Sounds like a dry run to me.

This could be the new water leak. Evacuate the building while the vote counts change.

The rest just thought it was their regular cocaine delivery.

RE: Cocaine is pricey

Hunter: I’ll say it is. Dad had to give a lot of defense secrets to foreign agents to keep me paid in full to my dealers.

White powder....

Baby Powder Lawsuits
Based on the April 2023 settlement offer and previous settlements reached in verdicts, Talcum Powder Attorneys estimate that Talcum Powder Lawsuits could settle for anywhere between $100,000 and $1 million. These estimates are by no means a guarantee of financial compensation for Talcum Powder Lawsuits.

In 2019, a Missouri court ordered J&J to pay $4.7 billion in damages to women who alleged the product gave them cancer. That amount was later reduced to $2.1 billion. Johnson & Johnson maintains that the baby powder — which it no longer sells — is safe and doesn’t cause cancer.

I hope the citizens are catching on to all this fake/phony bologna stuff they are pulling on them during OUR ELECTIONS. BEFORE it was broken water pipes. Time to stand up to this kind of stuff and say, ENOUGH. And notice we never had these kinds of problems until they stole the Election and installed that Biden and his tyrant regime. Now it’s one thing after another. Time to get a clue.
