Seattle police officers recovered drugs, cash, and a stolen gun during a narcotics arrest in Downtown Seattle last night.
On July 23, at about 10:00 p.m., patrol officers near 3rd Avenue and Pike Street witnessed a man and a woman engaging in hand-hand narcotics exchanges for cash. According to the police report, the man then began “smoking the suspected white powdered narcotics.”
