He most recently hit an espresso stand on Saturday in Bothell. Authorities say the suspect walked up to the stand armed with a black handgun, demanding money.

The businesses robbed include a Baskin Robbins, Subway restaurants, various gas stations, and coffee stands.

The robber wears a hood, bandanna, and gloves. He is described as a white or Hispanic male between the ages of 23 and 27, with a stocky build, around 5’2″ to 5’6.”

Authorities believe the suspect may be working with someone who drives a getaway car.
