The narcotics operation netted three arrests Wednesday morning, KOMO reported.
“Nearly 90 grams of narcotics, including 14.6 grams of methamphetamine and 73.3 grams of fentanyl, were recovered. A butterfly knife was also seized during the arrests. The suspects were booked in the King County Jail on investigation of narcotics charges,” police said in a statement.
The high police visibility in the area resumed the rest of the day, resulting in another 11 arrests, according to Hoodline.
The area is in the general vicinity of where several stabbings resulted in the injuries of ten people in two days.
Multiple city departments took part in the operation, including the Seattle Department of Transportation and Parks Department.
