Police seize 193K in narcotics, arrest 2 in Burien-Skyway-White Center drug bust

The King County Sheriff's Office executed a coordinated operation on May 2, 2025, resulting in the arrest of two suspects and the seizure of narcotics worth over $193,000. This two-month investigation involved multiple jurisdictions, including Burien, Skyway, and White Center, and culminated in the recovery of 4. 4 pounds of heroin and significant quantities of cocaine, methamphetamine, and fentanyl. Investigators also confiscated $91,154 in suspected drug proceeds and two vehicles used in distribution. Both individuals were booked into King County Jail on charges of possession with intent to deliver and conspiracy to violate the Uniform Controlled Substances Act.

This operation highlights the ongoing efforts of the Special Emphasis Team, which has previously investigated this drug trafficking organization. Authorities estimate the street value of the seized narcotics at approximately $193,000. Fortunately, no injuries occurred during the arrests, and officials continue to pursue leads in the case. The ongoing nature of the investigation underscores the persistent challenge of drug trafficking in the region.
