EVERETT — Deputies are looking for man who tried to kidnap a bikini barista on Highway 99, according to the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office.
Around 12:17 p.m., a man pulled up to Ladybug Espresso in the 13500 block of Highway 99 and threatened a barista with a gun, sheriff’s office spokesperson Courtney O’Keefe said. He reportedly told her to get in his vehicle.

Witnesses reported seeing the man fleeing from the car on foot.
