Big Issaquah Pot Farm Seized on State-Owned Lands

More than 25,248 marijuana plants have been confiscated from their home on the nicely irrigated land in Issaquah, known as Taylor Mountain. With a helicopter overhead and a SWAT team on the ground, in total the Eastside Narcotics Task Force spotted and removed three outdoor pot-growing operations, worth an estimated $5 million yesterday. In addition, drug enforcement agents also located a deserted camp, believed to house up to four people tending to the weed along the slopes of the Department of Natural Resources state-owned land. It's not every day that police reports end in such irony.
