MONROE — More than 100 people were evacuated from a walk-in clinic Thursday afternoon following complaints of a sharp odor, Fire District 3 spokeswoman Richelle Risdon said.

A hazardous materials team found harmless levels of hydrogen sulfide at Providence Physician Group, 14692 179th Ave. SE.

The clinic was turned back over to its staff once the odor dissipated in the late afternoon, officials said.
