REDMOND — A police spokesman in the Seattle suburb of Redmond says concern about a clear liquid leaking from a package that arrived in the mail led police to temporarily evacuate a building on the Microsoft campus and restrict nearby traffic Friday afternoon.

The problem? Police spokesman Jim Bove said a hazardous materials team determined it was nothing more dangerous than a broken snow globe at Building 123.
