Two Seattle men have been arrested on suspicion of supplying fentanyl and cocaine to Whatcom County as part of an investigation by the Whatcom County Regional Drug Task Force and the Bellingham office of the Drug Enforcement Administration.

The task force seized about 741 grams of fentanyl, 222 grams of methamphetamine, 124 grams of cocaine and 13 grams of heroin, according to the Whatcom County Sheriff’s Office. Investigators also found a digital scale, messages requesting drugs and more than $7,000 in suspected drug sale proceeds in vehicles and residences related to the men.

Both men were booked into Whatcom County Jail on Wednesday on suspicion of delivery of a controlled substance and possession with intent to deliver. They both posted bail and were released Friday.

WCSO said more arrests are expected from the investigation.
