Unexploded World War I mortars found at construction site, Washington police say

 
February 28, 2025 Don Sweeney - The Sacramento Bee
An archaeologist at a construction site reported finding unexploded military munitions, Washington police said.

The explosives found Tuesday, Feb. 25, appear to be mortar shells dating back to World War I, the Vancouver Police Department said in a Feb. 26 news release.
 
They were found during construction at Pearson Field, a municipal airport, police said.

A police bomb squad responded to assess the situation, cops said. They safely exploded the first mortar shell with the help of a U.S. Air Force explosive disposal team.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
