Pot provider robbed, suspect leaves counterfeit cash at scene (seattlecrime.com):

Police recovered more than $900 worth of counterfeit cash while investigating a medical marijuana robbery in [Mount Baker] last week.

A medical marijuana provider called police around 5:45 pm on June 24th, and said he’d just been ripped off during a sale.

The victim told officers he is “involved in dispensing medical Marijuana to unprivileged patients,” and buys weed from dispensaries so he can give “portions of that marijuana to people who can’t afford it,” apparently for a smaller fee. More.

Lower Beacon Hill homicide investigation closed:

The homicide case of a man who was recently found dead in his lower Beacon Hill home has been closed as it has been determined that he died of natural causes rather than homicidal violence as was originally suspected.
