Ishikawa deal falls through

Two people were arrested and a stolen gun was recovered on Jan. 28 in a bust of a Burien illegal pot grow said Seattle Police. The bust took place in the 13000 block of 15th Avenue SW.

An investigation led police to a a Burien home where they found the basement filled with 11 pounds of packaged pot and 28 illegally grown marijuana plants, all being grown under lights fed with stolen electricity.
While searching the home detectives found the residents had been tending 28 pot plants in their basement, and were powering 18 large grow lamps with electricity stolen from the Seattle City Light grid. Police also found 11 pounds of bagged marijuana and two guns–one of which was reported stolen–in the home. Police were unable to find any indications the residents had obtained the permits necessary to legally cultivate marijuana in Washington State.

Detectives identified and released the female suspect at the scene and booked a 36-year-old man into the King County Jail for narcotics manufacturing, defrauding a public utility and possession of a stolen firearm.

Concerned citizens in West Seattle are gathering signatures for an online petition seeking to protect air quality and reduce noise at Terminal 5 in the Port of Seattle.

The goal is to create a monitoring system, which will collect information and determine what controls may be required to safeguard area residents, Patricia Davis, who started the petition on Change.org, explained. She added that her main concern is diesel pollution.

“The impact of diesel on our health is profound,” she said. “It’s a brain toxin. You have immediate impacts and then you have long-term impacts. We need to get that air monitoring now, during construction, as soon as possible.”

Davis was involved in an earlier petition that called for the Port of Seattle to create an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) on its construction of Terminal 5.

For the current petition, Davis explained that the focus is keeping tabs on both noise and air quality. She said that a third party -- the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency -- would monitor the data collected by the proposed system installed at the terminal.
