EDMONDS — Police on Wednesday raided an Edmonds home where they allegedly found an illegal marijuana growing operation.

The raid in the 18200 block of 80th Avenue W followed “numerous complaints from neighbors in the area,” Edmonds police Sgt. Shane Hawley said.

Officers who served a search warrant found 368 plants.

The South Snohomish County Narcotics Task Force started the investigation in August. Detectives were in talks with prosecutors about potential charges, Hawley said.
