SEATTLE (AP) — A police bomb squad robot found no danger from a suspicious package outside a south Seattle bank.

Police had closed the Sound Transit light rail line at Othello and blocked Martin Luther King Jr. Way as a precaution after a couple using the ATM machine about 6:30 a.m. Friday noticed a box with bottles and wires inside.

Street traffic and light rail service between downtown Seattle and Sea-Tac Airport were disrupted.

KOMO Radio reports things were moving again by 9 a.m.
