Bank Robber Makes Off With WaMu JPMorganChase Money

What a breaking news afternoon we're having. We were alerted by @thesouthlake's tweet about a 3:30 p.m. bank robbery at the WaMu at 5th and Union downtown. KING 5 says the robber says he left a bomb behind, which means he has also left a lot of snarled traffic behind. The suspect is "in his 30s with no facial hair and no glasses," which leaves us out because we're wearing glasses and have been all day. Anyway, that block of 5th is shut down until they sort it out.

MvB, eventually somebody matching your description will do something, and you may be picked up.
It's one of my litany of fears.

It's also one of my guilty pleasures when an APB BOLO comes out that does not match my description. On the days that there are, though, I tend to stay home.

Better to be safe than mistaken, as the terrorists would have us believe.

Oh, mbg, you shouldn't worry yourself. These descriptions are dialed in. I mean, a 30-something, clean-shaven male...how many of those could there be in downtown Seattle? Still, just to be on the safe side, I'm staying on the Hill until they find him. ;)
