Seattle Police have shut down traffic on 5th and Union after a bank robbery.
According to police at the scene, the bomb squad has been called in after the robber left a suspicious package in the bank.
More details to come.
Update: According a guy Erica C. Barnett sat next to on the bus earlier this afternoon, the suspicious package may have been a briefcase. Then, the guy apparently started talking about how delicious chicken is.
Scoop!
Boy, tough economic times sure do bring on exciting headlines, don’t they?
Just 3 blocks east from where I work.
“Bank Robbery of The Day”
That would explain why the 312 bus I’m on is stuck at 4th and union. Thanks Spags-Lee
Why so serious?
does this mean I can’t go to Ross’ and look for a new couch cover after work?
Desperate times lead to desperate people.
And cliches.

I like where this thread is headed.
Don’t get her thinking about chicken. She’ll forget all about her bike.
Joh rides my bus? How did I not know!?
Apparently there’s an armed robbery at Mud Bay now
It’s over. “The bag was determined to be safe.” Traffic’s flowing now.
You missed the bank robbery across the shipping canal. Don’t feel bad, I left it off of my scanner report.
@12: Joh lives in Lake City in and apartment that would be about 1/5th the size if he were renting it in Capitol Hill. Joh rides the 312 every day. He sits in the back and plays tetris on his phone mostly.
We can only hope they go on a killing spree, escaping on fixies, next robbery.
And they’ll probably use pit bulls to distract the cops.
Chicken IS delicious though!
