Details on Verity Robbery

  • Post author:

This past Saturday, we heard there was an “Incident at Verity Credit Union” that led to a police cordon of the area, but we didn’t have any of the details. Casey McNerthney over at the Seattle P-I has more details:

A man who stole about $5,900 from a Wallingford bank Saturday is still on the run, and a police report released Thursday gives more details about the robbery.

The man entered the Verity Credit Union at 4545 Stone Way N. about 10:30 a.m. and told a teller to give him all her money.

“Are you serious?” she replied.

“You have 12 seconds, and I have a weapon,” the man responded.

The teller gave him a drawer with the cash and he left through the south door. The robber was last seen walking northbound on Stone Way North. A weapon was not seen.

Police contained the area, but could not find the man.

The robber is described as a white man, 6-foot-3, with salt and pepper hair. He wore a green plaid shirt and tan pants. His approximate age was not given.

I started Wallyhood back in 2008, right when my son was born, because I realized I had lived in the neighborhood since 1993 and didn't really know my neighbors. I figured writing a blog about what was going on around me would be a good way to meet people and help other people do the same. As the years progressed, those neighbors have picked up the torch and it is now a group effort, which I adore. I moved out of Wallingford for a few years (2020 - 2025), but I'm back, now living with my wife, son and dog (Dillinger) up in Tangletown.
