Dozens of pot plants found in public greenspace

SEATTLE — Seattle police seized dozens of marijuana plants after King County deputies found them growing in a city park Saturday.

The 9-acre Llandover Woods Greenspace, which is part of the Seattle Parks and Recreation Department, is on the Seattle side of the boundary between Seattle and Shoreline near Northwest 145^th Street and Third Avenue Northwest.

Deputies called Seattle police, who arrived at the park to find 40-45 small marijuana plants growing in planters.

Unless one has a license to grow marijuana for medicinal purposes, marijuana remains illegal to grow.

The plants were seized and will be destroyed.
