Seattle Police Department (SPD) officers are investigating after a business in the Magnolia neighborhood was held up at gunpoint early Tuesday morning.
Just after 1:30 a.m., near the corner of Dravus Street and 20th Avenue, a man walked into a store with a gun. The man pointed the gun at the cashier and demanded money, according to the 24-year-old male victim, an employee of the business.
Police say the suspect took some cash from the register and then ran off.
Officers with a K9 unit scoured the area but couldn’t find him, prompting police to ask the public for help tracking him down.
The victim was not hurt but told police his business had been robbed another time earlier in the week.

At about 8:30 a.m. on Monday, SPD and the Seattle Fire Department responded to the 900 block of North 96th Street for a man with a possible stab wound.
However, arriving officers and firefighters discovered the man had a grazing gunshot wound to his side.
