Early last Friday morning, a rather sophisticated thief hit the Wingmasters on 24th Ave. According to the police report, the suspect partially unscrewed the 7 flourescent lights outside to turn them off, broke a window, pulled the alarm control off the wall and disconnected two of the four cameras. The remaining cameras caught the suspect on tape, but he was wearing a hood and a bandana over his face, leaving just his eyes visible. He found the keys to the pulltab machines and emptied two of them, but didn’t touch the third. The suspect also pried open the ATM and pulled out an undisclosed amount of cash. While the suspect didn’t leave any prints inside the restaurant, he did make one mistake — police investigators were able to lift some prints from the light bulbs outside.

Those developers will stop at nothing to ruin our neighborhoods and take advantage of our businesses.

Thats a super bummer - Wingmasters is our favorite place for away seahawks games. Nice mix of sketchiness and sports..
