King County, WA – Deputies with the King County Sheriff’s Office announced a massive narcotics seizure this week, part of an ongoing investigation known as Operation Eastbound and Down – The Last Chapter.
According to the King County Sheriff’s Office, the December 17 operation resulted in the confiscation of 214 pounds of methamphetamine, 5 pounds of heroin, and $89,780 in cash believed to be connected to drug trafficking. One suspect was arrested and booked into the Snohomish County Jail.
Authorities estimate the street value of the seized narcotics at roughly $2 million. Investigators say the operation is linked to the Sinaloa Cartel Network, following an earlier bust last month by the agency’s Precinct Four Special Emphasis Team.
Sheriff’s officials highlighted the role of K9 Quinn, who assisted in the operation and has now reached 30 total deployments for 2025. Photos released by the department show stacks of sealed bags filled with narcotics displayed in front of a Sheriff’s Office banner.
No additional arrests or suspect identities have been released as the investigation remains ongoing. Officials say the latest bust underscores the region’s ongoing battle against cartel-driven narcotics trafficking in western Washington.
