Squatters take over multimillion-dollar Sammamish home, police say hands are tied

A multimillion-dollar home in Sammamish is at the center of an ongoing investigation, as squatters continue to break in and make the home their own.

“The amount of guns, drugs, etcetera that were confiscated out of that place are not for personal use or for any good reason,” Sammamish Police Chief Dan Pingrey said. “I totally recognize how frustrating it is for the neighborhood and it’s just as frustrating for us to be honest with you.”

The homeowner lives overseas, but a few people living locally help maintain the home with routine checkups. One of those workers stopped by the home and found 12 guns, bulletproof vests, more than 15,000 fentanyl pills, heroin, meth, and more than $40,000 in cash.

The worker called 911 and police arrived on scene.

“As we were beginning to take a look at our next steps, an unlicensed motorcycle showed up with two people on it,” Pingrey said.

Neighbors identified the two people as the squatters and both were arrested for burglary, according to Pingrey. Both were out of jail within days and headed back to the home, bringing more people with them.

“After they were out of jail, we had a large group trying to get back into the house,” Pingrey said. “No one was supposed to be there. The homeowners were not allowing anyone to stay there.”

Pictures taken by a neighbor show police vehicles lined up on the street with officers watching, as the squatters filled a U-Haul truck with items inside. Another picture shows a garage full of appliances, including an ATM.

Wa. state?

Well-keep voting Democrat! 🤦‍♂️

When I was a kid Washington was a conservative state. Even when I was a young adult Washington State voted for President Reagan in both 1980 and in 1984. What happened? We were overwhelmed with transplants mostly from California but other liberal places as well. The outlying areas in this state with mostly native Washingtonians is still solidly Conservative. But on the West side of the state in the Puget Sound Region natives make up maybe 30% of the population. Liberals have taken over the Governor's office, both legislative houses and have 8 out of 9 positions in the State Supreme Court. The one supposed “conservative” is more of a Mitt Romney brand conservative. The same thing will happen in every battleground state if the Democrats get their way.

If the country’s descending into total lawlessness, it’ll be just like the wild west. So why not solve sticky problems with vigilante justice.

It was a movie made of short subjects, some of them worthy of Brett Hart or Mark Twain. The song was funny, but so was that whole short.

interrupting and destroying local law enforcement is ALL about Fed.gov’s intent to take over local policing-which will be proposed as the obvious solution to these kinds of problems...
