The King County Sheriff’s Office announced this week the conclusion of a multi-month investigation that led to the dismantling of a drug trafficking organization linked to the Sinaloa Cartel in the south King County area.
The operation – conducted by the department’s Special Emphasis Team – resulted in the seizure of large quantities of fentanyl and other narcotics intended for distribution in Burien, White Center, and Kent.
Detectives, along with K9 Quinn, recovered:
- 6.63 pounds of Fentanyl powder
- 32,000 Fentanyl M30 pills
- 11.7 grams Methamphetamine
- 3 grams of Cocaine
- More than $29,500 in cash
The estimated street value of the confiscated drugs is $338,000.
Two suspects were arrested and booked on charges of possession with intent to distribute.
The Special Emphasis Team’s work, which involved the department’s K-9 unit, reflects a focused effort to combat fentanyl distribution networks impacting South King County communities.
“A job well done,” police said in a statement.

GOOD JOB!!!
Good job, but they will just get probation, even though they are already on probation and have 47 felonies. Catch and Release.
Congratulations and Thank You for your service
