“SPU received a bomb threat and we are taking the precaution of evacuating buildings that we believe need to be evacuated. Details to follow,” the university said in a brief message at 7:40 p.m.

Seattle Pacific University is a private Christian university in Seattle. SPU’s 43-acre city campus is located in a residential neighborhood on the north slope of Queen Anne Hill, only 10 minutes from the heart of downtown Seattle. More than 4,100 students attend the university.
