Edmonds’ downtown Public Safety Complex, including Edmonds Municipal Court, was closed for about two hours Monday afternoon after a woman brought a hand grenade to the police department for disposal.

According to Edmonds Police Sgt. Shane Hawley, the woman — who lives in unincorporated Edmonds — was going through items owned by her deceased husband when she found the grenade, and decided to bring it to police headquarters for disposal.

The Washington State Patrol’s explosive unit — otherwise known as the bomb squad — was called in to remove the grenade, which was located in the woman’s car. The bomb squad will take the grenade to a remote location where they will safely detonate it, Hawley said.

The woman left the grenade in her car while she went in to the police reception area to notify them, Hawley said. Police called for the bomb squad, and closed municipal court and police headquarters until the incident was resolved.

If you find a grenade, the best idea is to call 911 so police can assess the situation, Hawley said. “We’ll send the bomb squad to you if necessary,” he said.
