You probably know better than I.
Remember when they had that drug shoot out in Lynden? That night the car that they used was parked on our street, full of bullet holes. Three neighbors reported the car because it had obviously been involved in something bad. The police refused to come out and look at the car. They said that the owner had not reported it stolen, so they weren’t going to get involved. There was an APB out on the car and the police refused to get involved.
About ten days later someone just opened the door and looked in the glove box and found a phone number and called the girl and told her to come at get car. She took back to Bellingham and the Bellinham police found it under a tarp.
No one understood why the county police refused to respond. No one knew that the County Council had voted to make Whatcom County a Sanctuary County.
As much as anything the Bandidos in that area took a huge hit when the club got nailed for trafficking stolen property. The Ferndale chapter folded for lack of membership. You still see the Whatcom County members around. I was surprised to see a Hell's Angels support group pop up in the area.
