Frontier Bank robbed just before closing

The Frontier Bank in the Ballard Market parking lot was robbed just after 5 p.m. Monday. My Ballard reader John sent us a tip when he noticed the bank was closed early with police cruisers outside. We arrived a few minutes later to see officers getting statements from employees inside.

Louie has been posting updates from the police scanner in the forum, including a description of the suspect: white male, 40-50 years old, 160 pounds, 5′ 8″, tan jacket, blue jeans, brown baseball cap and tape around his fingers. He left in an unknown vehicle eastbound on 57th. We briefly spoke to a bank employee who told us there were no injuries. (Thanks John and Louie!)
