Officers arrested a man following a brief pursuit of a stolen car through the Maple Leaf neighborhood late Thursday night.Officer Garret Hay of the North Precinct was patrolling the area near the 900 block of Northeast 65th Street just before midnight Thursday, searching for a stolen car associated with multiple armed robberies throughout the day. Officer Hay spotted the white Lexus parked in front of a gas station and waited for the occupants to return to the car. Moments later, two people entered the car and took off at a high rate of speed. Officer Hay gave chase, following the suspects until they began traveling at speeds closing on 70 MPH the wrong way down Roosevelt Way Northeast. The stolen car then clipped another car causing the stolen car to roll over and come to a rest on its roof in the 8000 block of Roosevelt Way Northeast.

Armed robbery, apparently at Walgreen’s

Seattle Police this afternoon released information on an incident last night: detectives are investigating after a North Seattle Drug Store was robbed at gunpoint Wednesday night.
A 20-year-old woman was working the register at a store in the 800 block of Northeast Northgate Way just before 11 p.m.
The clerk was checking out items for a 24-year-old woman when a man wearing a hoodie and a mask over his face walked up to the register. The suspect displayed a handgun and demanded cash from the register.
The clerk had difficulty opening the register and the suspect eventually gave up. The suspect then took the customer’s purse and fled the scene.
K-9 officers searched the area but were unable to find the suspect. Robbery detectives are now working to locate any possible surveillance video from the area that may help identify the suspect. If you have any information about this case please call robbery detectives at (206)684-5535 and reference case number 2018-65356.

At 7:30 p.m. a steady but light snow has been falling for some time, long enough to start coating sidewalks, yards and cars.
Forecast is for less than a half-inch overnight, but remember: Maple Leaf is the third highest hill in Seattle.
Thursday is supposedly sunny, with snow returning Friday and Saturday.
