Detectives are investigating whether the incident, at an open house in Edmonds, is connected with similar cases on the Eastside.
In the Edmonds case, a man walked into an open house last Saturday, acting at first as if he was interested in buying the home. Then he grabbed the female agent showing the home and sexually assaulted her.
When he lunged a second time, she screamed and he left.

The manual gives agents tools to help prevent similar attacks.
