The Clarkston Chamber of Commerce building was shut down on Monday after the chamber received a letter containing a white, powdery substance.

Clarkston fire and police departments evacuated the building and closed off the area at around 11 AM, and a hazardous materials unit from Yakima was called to the scene.

Investigators say the letter, with an African return address, contained a substance resembling potato flakes. No injuries were reported.
