Detectives with the King County Sheriff’s Office (KCSO) seized more than 18 pounds of fentanyl and arrested three people during a narcotics investigation earlier this month.
According to the sheriff’s office, the seizure was made March 3 by the department’s Special Operations Team, which operates out of KCSO’s Precinct 4 in Burien.
Investigators said the drugs were being transported from California to Washington when detectives, working with K9 Quinn, stopped two vehicles connected to the investigation.
“K9 Quinn did his thing and alerted on two vehicles which led to the arrest of three people,” police said.
According to the King County Sheriff’s Office, detectives seized:
- About 8.8 pounds of fentanyl powder
- About 9.7 pounds of fentanyl M30 pills, which authorities said equates to roughly 40,000 pills.
The investigation remains ongoing, according to the sheriff’s office.

I got to wonder if the da office could find a way to charge these 3 with attempted murder with that much fentanyl and are these 3 legal cit-ans or should ice or homeland security be looking at this case . But when the cartels find out they got busted and lost that much product the will get killed in prison or their family members when get taken out .
