The Seattle Police Department (SPD) is working with the FBI in pursuit of a serial bank robber. It is believed by both agencies that the suspect has robbed seven banks since June 2024.
Officials have described her as an Asian woman who’s approximately five feet, three inches tall. She is in her early 20s and usually wears a face mask and a hat.
On Monday, she targeted the U.S. Bank in Magnolia, located on McGraw Street, just before 12 p.m. She allegedly gave the teller a note, flashed a gun from her purse, and ran away with the money.
“This is so quiet and you don’t expect to do it here, like that, in the daytime,” Maggie Irizarry, a Magnolia resident, told KIRO 7.
She’s known to use various disguises. Each time she robs a bank, she has a different look.

“She will get caught, sooner or later she will get caught, it’s just a matter of time,” Irizarry added.
Police believe she robbed banks in January 2025, November 2024, October 2024, September 2024, and June 2024 throughout the city.
