Seizures of marijuana plants in Washington more than doubled to 296,611 last year, and the Office of National Drug Control Policy ranks the state second only to California in outdoor pot farming. Authorities this week during the annual spring conference of the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs say the Evergreen state ranked third in indoor pot production with California first in the a category as well. Washington has far fewer resources than California for targeting pot operations and law enforcement officials say large-scale marijuana growers in the Evergreen state often operate in remote areas of national forests and Indian reservations. Leading Washington counties for outside pot production last year include Klickitat, Yakima, Grant, Franklin and Skamania, and more than 102,000 plants – more than a third of the total – were seized on tribal lands. Indoor growing is more typical in Western Washington, especially in the Seattle-Tacoma-Everett area. In King County, which includes Seattle, more than 26,000 plants were seized, sometimes in homes in well-off areas where neighbors had no idea anything was amiss.
