From the Snoqualmie Valley Star By Laura Geggel
A handmade telephone intended as a friendly gift caused a bomb scare at Mount Si High School June 16.
Mount Si High School evacuated its students to the football stadium at about 11:10 a.m. after the main office opened a suspicious looking package - really an upside down telephone - addressed to a student.
According to Snoqualmie Police Public Information Officer Rebecca Munson, the school’s front office received the package June 13, but the student was absent. On Monday, the main office called the student to the office, where she informed them she was not expecting a package.

“We had an officer respond and he saw wires, so he called a bomb squad,” Munson said.
