6.)The area from 3200 block of Smith Ave to the 3900 block of Smith Ave plus two blocks on either side. This is the new Everett Transit Center. This is a major traffic and pedestrian hub for the city of Everett. The transit center is a valuable asset for citizens, but also an area where many narcotics sales and use occurs. The ACT Team and bicycle officers have made many arrests at the transit center for narcotics related crimes. 7.) The entire area on Casino Road extending from Evergreen Way to Airport Road and two blocks north and south of this area of Casino Road. This area continues to be a very transient in nature which brings about high crime and narcotics activity. Officers continue to make many arrests for both sales and use in this area. While assigned to the Drug Task Force, I personally was involved with several narcotics investigations in this area. 8.)The area from 1100 to 3200 block of Hewitt Ave and two blocks north and south of this area of Hewitt should be left as the S.O.D.A. area. Although I have not personally seen much narcotics activity between the 2300 and 3200 block of this area, I am aware that the Patrol division of the police department has continuing concerns about narcotics trafficking all along Hewitt, from 1100 block to 3200 block. This area does encompass several bars and the Everett Events Center. Officers continue to make arrests and contacts for narcotics crimes in this area. 9.) The entire area of Evergreen Way extending from 4700 block south to the city limits and two blocks east and west of Evergreen Way. This area has many businesses, motels, and apartment complexes which have led to multiple arrests and contact for narcotics related crimes. I personally have been involved with several narcotics investigations in this area where narcotics were sold. These areas are known to me because of my experience and training as a police officer, narcotics detective, and police supervisor. Attached and incorporated by reference to my declaration is a description of the areas described above, all of which are contained within the city limits of Everett, that I am recommending on behalf of the Everett Police Department to the Everett City Council to be designated as Stay Out of Drug Areas ("SODA') areas, to-wit: 1. 700 block to 1100 block of North Broadway, and two blocks east and west of this area of North Broadway; and 2. 1100 block to the 4100 block of Broadway, and two blocks east and west of this area of Broadway; and 3. Evergreen Way extending from the 4700 block to the south city limits, and two blocks east and west of this area of Evergreen Way; and SODA areas declaration Page 2 of 3 Sgt. Marshall December 2009
