Submitted by the San Juan County Sheriff’s Office.

On Aug. 21, the San Juan County Sheriff’s Office and the Washington State Department of Revenue served a search warrant at The Big Store at 420 Argyle Ave in Friday Harbor. This investigation stemmed from a tip from a concerned citizen that the business was selling dangerous illegal drugs.

The San Juan County Sheriff’s Office along with the Skagit County Interlocal Drug Enforcement Unit conducted multiple controlled buys from the business. The search resulted in numerous boxes of illegal drugs seized.
