He probably looked like an average bank robber when he walked into the Ballard bank, but he fled the scene in a Porsche.

The robber was wearing a black jacket and had his face covered when he entered the building. Police say the man held up the U.S. Bank at NW 61st Street and 15th Avenue NW in a “takeover style,” telling everyone to get down on the ground.

The robber demanded money from the tellers and implied he had a gun.

The suspect is described as a white or Asian male, about 30 year old, 5′ 8″ to 5′ 10″, with a medium build and wearing a black jacket, jeans, face covering and sunglasses.

He fled the scene in a two-door black Porsche 944 Turbo hatchback.

Anyone with information is asked to call the FBI – Seattle Safe Streets Task Force at 206.622.0460.
