MARYSVILLE – Police are investigating the robbery of First Heritage Bank at 94th Street NE and State Avenue.
A man entered the bank about 3:30 p.m. Thursday and passed a note to a teller, demanding cash. No weapon was displayed; however, the man kept his hand stuffed inside his jacket, giving the impression he had a weapon, police said.
The suspect ran northbound on State Avenue. A police dog tracked him north of the bank, where it is believed the suspect had a vehicle waiting.
The suspect is described as a white male with a dark complexion in his mid 20s, about 5 feet, 11 inches tall and 180 pounds. He had black, slicked-back, collar-length hair. He was last seen wearing a midlength black leather coat, a black T-shirt, blue jeans and black shoes. The suspect also wore wire-frame sunglasses.
Anyone with information about the robbery is asked to call the Marysville police detective unit at 360-363-8326.

Lynnwood: Roadwork will close lanes on I-5
Southbound and northbound I-5 in Lynnwood will be reduced to one lane at night for four days over the next two weeks.
On July 5, 7, 11 and 14, construction crews will close up to three lanes in either direction beginning at 7 p.m., said Travis Phelps, spokesman for the state Department of Transportation. Though he did not predict long delays, the construction will cause some slowdowns, he said.
A high-occupancy vehicle lane will be closed at 7 p.m. and two other lanes will be closed by 11:30 p.m. on construction nights. At least one lane will always remain open. All lanes will open by 5 a.m.
