Olivia Park Elementary School in Everett was under lockdown Thursday morning after a report of a suspicious person on campus, according to the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office.

The sheriff’s department said there was a large law enforcement presence on the scene.

At 9:41 a.m. the sheriff’s office sent an update the safety sweep was complete and the lockdown was lifted.
