EVERETT — Police made multiple arrests during an undercover operation targeting prostitution in Everett on Wednesday.

Nine people were booked into the Snohomish County Jail on Wednesday afternoon on suspicion of patronizing a prostitute, according to jail records.

The Everett police criminal intelligence unit led a proactive operation aimed at people buying sex in a “known prostitution corridor of Everett,” said Officer Natalie Given, a department spokesperson.

The goal was to target the demand for human trafficking by pursuing the people who are looking to pay for sex, the spokesperson said.

Each person was booked on a single misdemeanor charge and given an initial bond of $500, according to jail records.
