Squatters take over multimillion-dollar Sammamish home, police say hands are tied Kevin Ko
A multimillion-dollar home in Sammamish is at the center of an ongoing investigation, as squatters continue to break in and make the home their own.
“The amount of guns, drugs, etcetera that were confiscated out of that place are not for personal use or for any good reason,” Sammamish Police Chief Dan Pingrey said. “I totally recognize how frustrating it is for the neighborhood and it’s just as frustrating for us to be honest with you.”
The homeowner lives overseas, but a few people living locally help maintain the home with routine checkups. One of those workers stopped by the home and found 12 guns, bulletproof vests, more than 15,000 fentanyl pills, heroin, meth, and more than $40,000 in cash.

Local authorities are conducting an ongoing investigation into the goings-on at the house, but they indicated there was little they could do when the squatters returned for items they stored at the property.
Sammamish is approximately 20 miles east of Seattle. The amount of guns, drugs, etcetera that were confiscated out of that place are not for personal use or for any good reason, Sammamish Police Chief Dan Pingrey told KIRO.
