bomb threat at Rose Garden NOW

Fanny-packs can be deadly, and in this post-911 world, a fanny-pack taped to a bathroom wall can be even more deadlier. It is important to realize how stupid fanny-packs are, yes, but it also important not to have a September 10th mindset. The soundtrack for Mariah Carey's Glitter isn't coming out tomorrow (that disaster already happened, as we continue to cope....). This fanny-pack could kill us all. The hours are getting smaller and smaller and more small by the day. This bomb/fanny-pack incident is the culmination of those small hours adding up.

This might not be related, but in two days ago in Tacoma, they held a massive bomb drill at the mall in Puyallup. Maybe they were practicing for this bomb since Portland is about two hours away.
If TPTB did set it up, it might be another distraction. It seems odd that someone might want to blow up the rose garden, it's such a beautiful place, and there isn't that many tourists there.

Got a message on FB - turns out my cousin was there - she's stuck in the parking garage and can't get out... Fabulous

Has your wife given you any more info? Hopefully it is a false alarm.

Hopefully everyone will be alright and this will pass quick enough. I've got three twitter window open and keep refreshing waiting for the verdict on this. Doesn't usually take the bomb squad too long to report a dud or that something was safely destroyed just in case.

Not really worried - I would be more concerned about being stuck in parking garage - than the (possible) bomb - since the cops are on that... Traffic is going to be a nightmare over there...

If it turns out to be a dud or just an empty box etc.. it still give plenty of information to would be bombers. response time, level of panic, how quick it make the airwaves etc..

That's a good point too, I guess I never really thought of that.

Apparently, the "package" was a pipe, taped to the wall.

Text from my cousin stating they are now letting people leave the parking garage... so all seems to be well, at least at that end...

So I am afraid you really should know your area, we are both right, and the OP stated
