After calling multiple people out of the house using a P.A. system officers prepare to enter to make sure everyone has left.

The front door was blocked so officers entered a side door to make sure everyone had left so the cleanup could start.
In spite of the condemnation and disconnection of utilities people continued to come and go from the property and live in the main house and garage and sleep in vehicles parked all around the lot.
The property is located at the northeast corner of Jackson and Wetmore has been the scene of multiple calls to Everett Police over the past four years.
According to neighbors who spoke to MyEverettNews.com this morning the property had become a magnet for problems in the Pinehurst neighborhood in central Everett, Washington.
This morning shortly before 7:00 AM Everett Police and employees with the City’s Code Enforcement Division secured the property and then a private contractor hired by the City cleaned the property. Dick’s Towing of Everett also assisted EPD in the cleanup by hauling away vehicles.
The last workers cleared out around 3:30 PM hooking up a small backhoe used to help clear the property.
Neighbors told MyEverettNews.com they were thrilled with the clean up and plan to work together to report any trespassers to EPD to the boarded up structures that remain.
