AG Ferguson condemns threat to Mercer Island Jewish community center

Bomb threat at Stroum Center latest in string of anti-Semitic acts around the country

Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson issued the following statement after a bomb threat Monday afternoon forced the evacuation of the Stroum Jewish Community Center on Mercer Island:

“These types of threats have absolutely no place in our society. This was an act of cowardice and intimidation. 

“I urge all Washingtonians to join me in sending a clear message that threats like this will not be tolerated — not in our state, and not in our nation.”
