On Tuesday a pipe bomb was found in the restroom of Sunset Beach State Recreation Site. This is just a few miles south of Long Beach, WA on the Oregon side of the Columbia river.

ASTORIA — A little after 10 a.m. on Tuesday, Kayla Winkelhake and her 2-year-old son traveled to Sunset Beach in Clatsop County to enjoy a late-summer day — what came next was a bomb discovery that set the entire region on edge.

“I have a 2-year-old child, and we were on our way to the beach … we always just stop and use the restroom before going out to the beach,” Winkelhake said. “Tuesday (was) 87 and sunny, and we’re just thinking, ‘it’s a beautiful day,’ and we walk to the bathroom, and (my son) … starts to open the door.”

Unbeknownst to Whinkelhake at the time, attached to the door was an explosive device.

“He noticed that something was up at the door,” Winkelhake said. “So I just picked him up and noticed there was a backpack in there, and I’m, like, “That doesn’t really look normal. So we used the other bathroom.” According to Winkelhake, inside the restroom was a backpack tied to the door with shoelaces; opening the door would have pulled the laces and possibly triggered what was inside. Upon leaving the rest area, Winkelhake saw and notified a park ranger about the backpack, then enjoyed a day at the beach.

The device was defused by a bomb squad including experts from OSP and the Salem Police Department.
