The man, who works for the Monroe Fire Department, saw the device, which he identified as a pipe bomb, and immediately called the police and left the area, Monroe Police Department spokeswoman Debbie Willis said. The residents of several homes in the area chose to evacuate, Willis said. It’s unclear when the man discovered the device. Monroe Police were called to the scene just before 8 p.m. The Washington State Patrol Interagency Bomb Squad arrived about an hour later, and discovered explosives in the device. The bomb squad safely removed the device using a robot, Willis said. No one was injured in the incident. Police are investigating.
