Russia's Senior Consul Khalit Aisin says the premises of Russia's Consulate General in Seattle have completely been vacated.
Thus, the diplomats complied with the orders of the U.S. authorities and cleared the building on April 1, RIA Novosti reported.
According to Aisin, the State Department officials were offered to do a check-up at the premises, but they "refused."
"They said they would visit the premises tomorrow, and there will be a consul in case there are any complaints, but I doubt there will be any," he added.
