SEATTLE - Seattle police are investigating after several children at Alki Elementary School reported a strange woman who tried to lure them away.
What we know:
It happened around 9:15 a.m. Thursday while three first grade students were playing near the playground fence at recess.
The students were reportedly approached by a "grandma age" woman who said she had a crown in her car and asked them to go with her to see it.
None of the children went with the woman and they quickly reported her to school staff.

Seattle Public Schools says they are working with police to investigate the situation and will be extra vigilant during recess, arrival and dismissal times.
