911 SPD reports two surprise drug busts as fire turns up magic mushrooms on First Hill, cops spy fentanyl and meth in Cal Anderson

Seattle has seen two significant drug busts this past weekend, shedding light on the persistent issues of drug distribution in the area. The first incident occurred in First Hill, where a fire led to the discovery of a makeshift drug lab containing thousands of dollars' worth of magic mushrooms and cocaine. The Seattle Fire Department's hazmat team was called to the scene, and police later arrested the resident, recovering over 1,046 grams of mushrooms and a trace amount of cocaine. In a separate incident at Cal Anderson Park, officers noticed suspicious activity and arrested a suspect in possession of 101. 9 grams of fentanyl and 8.

5 grams of methamphetamine. The suspect also had $655 in cash, suggesting involvement in drug sales. Notably, the Seattle City Council has previously declared that the investigation of entheogen-related activities should be a low priority for law enforcement. These events not only highlight ongoing drug concerns but also reflect the complexities surrounding law enforcement priorities in Seattle. The city continues to navigate the balance between public safety and evolving drug laws.
