| Crime | West Seattle news | West Seattle police

Thanks for the tips. Admiral Safeway is open again after a threat determined to be unfounded. Here’s what SPD spokesperson Det. Judinna Gulpan: “Police responded to a reported bomb threat (there) around 7:00 a.m. Officers arrived and found most occupants of the business had already evacuated. An employee reported a suspect called and stated an incendiary device was placed inside the business and would be detonated if the suspect was not provided what was requested. Police completed a search of the business and did not locate a device. Business has reopened and there were no reported injuries.”

Oh my gosh, I am so angry that nearly every day I find out about another criminal act within blocks of my house. I love Safeway because I enjoy the staff who work there . The manager is constantly working to make this store an enjoyable place to shop . The staff should not have to be subjected to violent shoplifters , assaults and now bomb threats. I am relieved that everyone was safe .
