Everywhere you look the signs are evident. Walgreen's Drug Store, had purchased time release safes, in order to control the loss of opiate based drug thefts. Police presence has always been high in specific areas. One might say that would tell you how good the neighborhood was, or wasn't. What are the best signs to detect trouble in your neighborhood?

You do not always see the addict on the corner, or the dealer in the alley. In the last year; I have been forced to walk a lot of places. During my journeys I have came a cross a good amount of filth on the streets of Everett. From April to July in the area of 19th and 100th street se, the ground is littered with aluminum foil that was used for smoking pills, and baggies from heroin. Have you paid attention to the debris on your streets? If so; How well?

Paraphernalia (tools and equipment used for the purpose of consuming drugs) liters the streets of Everett in a bad way. To the un-exposed eye, it all just looks like lose garbage. but to anyone who has seen it said or done; Can help others see the trouble in the area.


During my walks I have come across:
1. Used foil with pill tracks
2. Burt foil with heroin tracks
3. busted Meth (shard) pipes
4. Crack pipes
5. shopping bags ( typical heroin package)
6. Dope bags with residue
7. actual bag of shard (glass, Meth, crank)
8. actual bag of heroin
9. washed dope baggies ( typical for shooters or IV needle users)
10. Melted cellophane with opiate pills in it
11. spoons with burn on them ( cooking heroin)
12. signs of stolen goods, broken goods, and more)

Everybody will tell you that the Everett, Country club apartments are dirty, or that casino road has had multiple drug related murders. But lets look at the evidence.

No more than a week ago, I had a guy ask me too hook him up with some crack. It wasn't his story, his Volvo, or the car seats that made me answer him like I did. at some point you have to look at your surroundings to know what you are up against.

The Albertson's on 128th offers free samples of aluminum foil. This was brought on by a constant attempt of people helping themselves to the foil on the shelves.


Lets start with the Everett parks. While taking the dog to the park every day, I have been paying attention to the debris.

I have found that the Grand avenue park has always been clean and safe for the kids and dog. This is really just a sitting and picnic park, as there are no child based toys
