Seattle libraries offer Narcan, fentanyl test strips to combat overdose epidemic
Joel Moreno – KOMO News
July 1st 2025
“Free nasal naloxone is available at all branch locations while supplies last. Fentanyl test strips are also available at the main downtown branch.”
“The library receives around 500 to 800 naloxone kits each month to distribute, depending on patron interest.”
“Naloxone is used to reverse an opioid overdose, including heroin, fentanyl, and prescription opioid medications. Naloxone is safe, works almost immediately, and is not addictive, according to medical professionals.”
“Fentanyl test strips can detect the presence of fentanyl in different kinds of drugs. They provide people who use drugs with information about fentanyl in the illegal drug supply so they can take steps to reduce the risk of overdose.”
Looks like Trump & Kristi Noem are completely irrelevant here. Life rolls on as if Biden was still in office.
Newspeople show zero curiosity in asking questions Re: the big, federal drug war and how that has been gong in recent months.
Across The Nation
If you are on the Kristi Noem team, you are out kicking ass.
If you are part of a local drug task force, or narcotics enforcement team, you are advertising the latest big drug bust after cartel product is able to move past the jurisdiction of federal agents at borders, border crossings and ports of entry and a barrier of DOD ground units, US Navy and US Coast Guard vessels prior to arriving in Hometown, USA.
If you are part of a local health dept. you are handing out Naloxone as always, to deal with the stuff that doesn’t get reported in the big local drug bust.
If you are part of DOD you avoid barracks maintenance in order to pay for sending The Troops three states over to secure the border while failing to manage federal contracts related to TRICARE.
A giant flag ritual at the next ball game will make it all good.
2025 – Public Affairs Crackdown Begins
March 20, 2025
Public Affairs efforts commence – the word goes out.
Cartels have been placed on notice/cartels designated as Foreign Terrorist Organizations.
Secretary of Homeland Security delivers no nonsense statements in the March 20, 2025 video posted below.
Homeland Security Vision of Success
Promotional events crafted and controlled by public affairs professionals, staged with major drug hauls, patrol boats, helicopters, etc.
The big campaign features top level team leaders thanking each other.
Well done.
Announcing the number of DOD ground units, US Navy and US Coast Guard vessels sent towards the US/Mexico border demonstrates a sense of commitment.

The Oak Bay Starfish take:
No matter what elected officials have decided to do Re: enabling drug use in WA, a $51.6 billion (every 12 months) US Dept. of Homeland Security has been on the job in recent years.
People will say Biden turned his back on border security. Let’s go with that.
Those days are over now.
The US Dept. of Homeland Security was established in 2002.
Love to see newspeople ask:
Has any US presidential administration since that time been able to use DHS to create any shortage of cartel product anywhere in the US?
President Trump has given full support to a Homeland Security mission of keeping cartel product out of the US.
Seattle newspeople avoid asking:
Here at Oak Bay Starfish, we are looking for newspeople to let us know when Puget Sound area drug addicts have any difficulty in finding their cartel product of choice.
We are looking for real newspeople to let us know when local health departments see a reduced need to hand out Naloxone.
Will crimes like catalytic converter theft and copper theft become a thing of the past?
Will newspeople ask questions?
Over in Island County
Has the Island County Homeland Security-funded patrol boat been involved in any arrest or seizure related in any way to the US/Canada border?
Newspeople remain silent.

Old Drug War – Cartels Respond & Move More Product Into The US
Has General Milley’s Operation Macho Swagger reduced access to cartel product anywhere in the US?
When is the last time DOD/DHS was able to create any shortage of cartel product in the Puget Sound area?
Has there been enough time for newspeople to ask questions?
Newspeople remain silent.
April 1, 2020 C-SPAN
WWII costume reminds us of a time before decades of undeclared/unwon wars stacked up.
The Department of Defense track record goes back to 1949.
Cartels move product into all 50 states:
DEA High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas:
“…HIDTA-designated counties are located in 50 states…”
Welcome Home Troops. Thanks for doing time/risking your ass in Iraq and Afghanistan, working to keep a post 911 USA safe & secure.
Don’t worry-The Super Bowl and public affairs will be safe:
