Seattle, WALocal News

In Everett, Washington, police are intensifying their search for a man suspected of attacking two women at bikini barista stands on Evergreen Way. The first incident occurred at Lady Bug Espresso on Sunday afternoon when a man attempted to force his way into the stand, leading to an escape by the employee. Just days later, another incident at Steamy Shots Espresso saw a similar attack, with a witness describing the suspect trying to reach the barista through a window. The suspect is characterized as a thin, light-skinned Black or Hispanic man, around 6'3" tall and between 20 and 30 years old. As the community grows concerned about safety, the Everett Police Department is increasing patrols and distributing flyers with the suspect's image to local businesses.

Public information officer Natalie Given has urged baristas to enhance their security protocols, including keeping cell phones accessible and securing windows until customers approach. The police have yet to make any arrests, and both victims provided matching descriptions of the assailant. Authorities are asking anyone with information to come forward to help ensure justice for the victims.
