Masked robbers armed with guns hit a West Seattle 7‑Eleven late Monday, pointing firearms at the clerk before bolting with about $200 in cash, according to police. Officers quickly canvassed the area along Delridge Way SW, but no arrests were made overnight.
Seattle police told reporters the department's Robbery Unit is now handling the case, and that the suspects were wearing ski masks and were armed when they walked into the store, King 5 reports. One suspect grabbed roughly $200 from the register before the group fled on foot. Detectives are reviewing the store's surveillance footage and interviewing witnesses in an effort to identify the crew.
Where It Happened
The location of the holdup matches a 7‑Eleven that lists its address as 9041 Delridge Way SW on the company website for 7‑Eleven. The store sits along the Delridge corridor serving Highland Park and North Delridge, a stretch that stays busy overnight with convenience‑store traffic and transit riders.
Police Response and Tips
Seattle police are asking anyone with information or video to come forward as detectives dig into the case. The department's SPD blotter and past posts list the Violent Crimes Tip Line at (206) 233‑5000 for leads on armed robberies and other violent incidents. Officers have been checking nearby surveillance cameras and canvassing surrounding businesses, according to local reporting.
A Wider Pattern for Late-Night Stores
The West Seattle holdup is part of a broader pattern of overnight convenience‑store robberies that local outlets have been tracking. Recent coverage has highlighted twin 7‑Eleven stickups and additional armed hits on late‑night businesses, while the West Seattle Blog has documented stepped‑up patrols and outreach to store operators in response.
As of Monday night, no arrests had been announced in the case, King 5 reports. Detectives are asking anyone with tips, photos or video to call the SPD Violent Crimes Tip Line at (206) 233‑5000 or submit information anonymously through Crime Stoppers.
