1. KOMO link: Smoking bag forces evacuation of Sea-Tac concourse

SEA-TAC AIRPORT -- A bomb squad is checking a smoking bag that was found early Thursday morning at Sea-Tac Airport.

Spokeswoman Terri-Ann Betancourt said Concourse A was evacuated, and several flights will be delayed.

Betancourt said the bag was found about 5:30 a.m. in an area underneath the passenger terminals where luggage is moved around the airport.

TSA spokesman Greg Soule said the baggage room and surrounding area have been evacuated out of an abundance of caution.
