SNOHOMISH — A medical-marijuana dispensary was robbed Saturday by a man who broke through a window and held three workers at gunpoint.

The incident occurred at about 8 a.m. in the 14500 block of U.S. 2, said Shari Ireton, spokeswoman for the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office.

The victims said a man wearing a mask broke a window to gain access. He brandished a firearm and left with marijuana with a value of at least $15,000, Ireton said.

The robber was described as white, with blond hair and is said to be about 5 foot 10. In addition to the face mask, he was wearing a “beanie” cap and black sweater.

Anyone with information was urged to call the sheriff’s office tip line at 425-388-3845.
