The Seattle Police Department says it arrested three people and seized fentanyl, meth, and cash in a narcotics operation on Harvard Ave E.
SPDS says the Thursday afternoon “narcotics/anti-crime operation” went down in the 200 block of Harvard just north of E Olive Way as East Precinct officers and SPD’s Community Response Group “made six proactive arrests, seized 65.5 grams of fentanyl, 3.5 grams of methamphetamine and seized 228 dollars in U.S. currency.”
SPD reports a 34-year-old man and a 23-year-old woman were arrested and booked in the operation. Police did not have information on the third person arrested. Officers also took three more people into custody who were “identified and released.”
There were no reported injuries.
The busts follow similar operations around Cal Anderson Park and Broadway and Pike. The alleys along Broadway including the stretch near Harvard and E Olive Way where Thursday’s operation took place have been a target for officials facing ongoing complaints about crime and drug use in the area.

Nice work. Keep going.

Good! Keep throwing the book at them, clean the whole neighborhood! Let’s GO SPD!
Looks like this happened at the LIHI low barrier property at 225 Harvard Ave E. LIHI mustโve been all out of the โtrained counselors on siteโ they promised Seattle City Council they would maintain. Unless their staff is used to ignoring ongoing drug dealing. Which I suspect they are. Perhaps CHS could ask Sharon Lee for a follow up comment. See what she has to say.
