Rock thrown through window at Bernie Sanders’ Seattle headquarters

SEATTLE — Shards of glass were cleaned up at the Bernie Sanders’ Seattle headquarters after someone apparently threw a rock through the window Friday night.

The office is located at 1401 E. Yesler Way on Capitol Hill.

Shaun Scott, the Washington State field director tweeted, “Everyone is okay and we’ll be here sweeping up the pieces and applying plywood.”

Volunteers posted a video online and said no one was hurt.

The incident comes less than a week after thousands of people packed the Tacoma Dome to hear Sanders speak.

Seattle police said they are investigating the incident but have not identified any suspects.
