Broken pipe soaks Western Washington University offices

Western Washington University is dealing with a wet mess. A sprinkler pipe burst in frigid temperatures causing damage to offices in the school's Old Main building.

Facilities management director Tim Wynn said the pipe burst Tuesday night in the ceiling above the fifth floor, causing water damage to offices on the four floors below.

"The water was in the walls but started migrating to the interior of the building," he said. "We even saw water coming out of these lights. It was surreal for a while."
