Nonprofit knew of Clare's Place contamination for months before evacuation

EVERETT — The nonprofit that operates Clare’s Place, a supportive housing complex in south Everett, knew of drug contamination for months before evacuating the building in October, county records show.

The revelation comes as residents moved back into their apartments this week.

In September, Clare’s Place staff began reporting headaches and air quality concerns. Tests revealed high levels of methamphetamine and fentanyl contamination in 48 of the 65 units — levels that could cause behavioral changes, respiratory problems and other illness.

Catholic Community Services of Western Washington, the nonprofit that operates Clare’s Place, consulted with the county health department and evacuated the building at 6200 12th Drive SE for decontamination.
