When you think of RVs, you probably picture family vacations, campfires, and maybe even the occasional karaoke night. But in West Seattle, an RV parked on Southwest Cambridge Street has become the hub of a criminal operation that’s anything but family-friendly. Seattle police recently executed a warrant that led to the bust of drugs, firearms, and a shocking web of illegal activities that even the wildest road trip drama wouldn’t dare script!
During an extensive investigation, detectives observed a consistent stream of foot traffic to and from the RV, which raised some serious red flags. Turns out, the occupants were allegedly involved in both drug dealing and fencing, meaning they were buying stolen goods and exchanging them for everything from cash to narcotics. This isn’t quite the “good-natured bartering” that makes camping fun—more like a scene straight out of a crime drama with a little too much reality to digest.
When officials wrapped up their operation, they seized a staggering haul, including nearly 200 grams of drugs like fentanyl and methamphetamine, alongside an arsenal of firearms. One occupant was arrested, and city crews are gearing up to clear the area. We can only imagine the conversations between neighbors—talk about that ‘RV lifestyle’ taking a wrong turn!
So, what do you think happened next? Hopefully, the only thing this RV will be hosting in the future is a safe and positive community gathering, rather than a crime scene. And let’s be honest, who wants to trade campfire stories when you can trade stolen treasures?
