On February 8, 2024 in Grays Harbor Superior Court, a jury found a sixty-five-year-old Aberdeen female resident guilty of two counts of Violation of the Uniform Controlled Substances Act with Intent to Deliver. The female was sentenced on February 20, 2024 in Grays Harbor Superior to a year and a day in prison and was immediately taken into custody.

This involved a lengthy investigation of multiple people over the years dealing illegal drugs from her residence in the 1900 block of W. 6th Street in Aberdeen. This was a chronic nuisance residence to the neighborhood that generated numerous complaints to the Grays Harbor Drug Task Force as well as the Aberdeen Police Department. 

The Grays Harbor Drug Task Force is moving forward in seizing the property per RCW 69.50.505 (1) (h) which reads in part: “All real property, including any right, title, and interest in the whole of any lot or tract of land, and any appurtenances or improvements which are being used with the knowledge of the owner for the manufacturing, compounding, processing, delivery, importing, or exporting of any controlled substance, or which have been acquired in whole or in part with proceeds traceable to an exchange or series of exchanges in violation of this chapter or chapter 69.41 or 69.52 RCW, if such activity is not less than a class C felony and a substantial nexus exists between the commercial production or sale of the controlled substance and the real property.”
