Darrington, WA – Schools in Darrington were evacuated Tuesday afternoon after an automated phone message made a bomb threat to the Darrington School District Administration Office, according to the Darrington Police Department.
Officials say the call came in shortly after 12 p.m., prompting an immediate evacuation of all district schools as a safety precaution. Law enforcement, including a Washington State Patrol Bomb Technician, responded to the scene to inspect the buildings.
By 2:30 p.m., police confirmed that all schools had been cleared and no explosive devices were located. “Thank you for your patience while we investigated this incident,” the department wrote in a social media update.
All students and staff were reported safe and accounted for, and classes are expected to resume once the district completes its security review. Authorities did not disclose the origin of the automated threat, but the investigation remains active.
Residents are encouraged to report any suspicious activity or related information to the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office.
