REDMOND — Thirteen people were taken to a Redmond hospital with flu-like symptoms on Wednesday after they become ill at work after noticing a strange smell.

Redmond Police spokesman Jim Bove told KOMO-TV that crews have been taking air samples at Healthpoint Community Health Center.

Bove says they have not found anything suspicious or hazardous but the building was evacuated as a safety precaution and an industrial hygienist will be doing more testing.
