UPDATE: We checked with the Seattle police media office and they said the business was the Tiki Sunhut Tanning Salon, 5233 University Way N.E.
A business in the University District was robbed at gunpoint last night, according to Seattle police.
At around 5:20 p.m., a man entered a business in the 5200 Block of University Way Northeast, pulled out a short, black semi-automatic handgun. He pointed it at a store employee and demanded money. He then fled with the cash.
Police responded but could not find a suspect.
The robber is described as white, about 22 to 29 years old, 5-feet-10, with blond hair. He was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and jeans.
