sewardparkwoodsLast Fri., April 3, Seattle Police Department (SPD) confiscated a duffel bag containing five and a half pounds of marijuana from Seward Park after a wilderness guide found it in the woods.

From Jonah Spangenthal-Lee at the Slog:

“It’s really incredibly rare circumstance for us to have that amount of marijuana…found by citizens playing hide and seek in a park,” says Seattle Police Department spokesman Sean Whitcomb. “It’s…very unusual for this quantity of marijuana to be found anywhere, much less Seward Park.”

Whitcomb says SPD puts the value of the marijuana between $8,250 and $22,000, depending on the quality of the marijuana.

According to Whitcomb, the marijuana will now be incinerated. Which is the real crime here. Read more.
