PUYALLUP, Wash. — Five Bigfoot Java locations in western Washington were targeted in attempted robberies overnight.
Around 10:35 p.m. Thursday night, a Tacoma location at 1402 E 72nd Street was hit, a barista confirmed to KING 5.
Just 10 minutes later, a location at 801 South Hill Park Drive in Puyallup was targeted. A barista told KING 5 a woman implied she had a firearm and demanded money, but left after being told no.
Shortly after, there was an attempted robbery at another location in Puyallup at 1002 B Meridian Ave E around 11 p.m. A barista there gave a similar story to KING 5, that a woman implied she had a gun and demanded money, but left with a man after being told no.
Around midnight, a location at 2411 136th Ave Ct E in Sumner was targeted by a woman who implied she had a gun.
Then at around 12:50 a.m., a location in SeaTac at 20635 Military Rd S was targeted by a female with an implied, but not shown gun. The King County Sheriff's Office confirmed that a vehicle with three occupants pulled up to the window, said they had a gun, and demanded money. Cash was taken from the register and the suspects fled in the vehicle before deputies could arrive.
KCSO did say a similar incident was under investigation in Sumner, but would not confirm if the incidents are connected at this time.
Bigfoot Java was hit by a pair of robberies in late February at locations in Renton and the same SeaTac location mentioned above.
