The "Double Life" Of This Seattle-Area Pastor Exposed In Massive Drug and Money Laundering Scandal

Last week, Steve Parker, a 57-year-old pastor from Skagit County, Washington, was arrested and charged with distributing methamphetamine, fentanyl, and cocaine. According to court documents, Parker had been dealing drugs in Skagit, Snohomish, and Whatcom counties.

The news of Parker’s arrest came as a shock to many in the community, as he had been a pastor at a local church for over two decades. In a statement to KIRO7 News, a spokesperson for the Skagit County Interlocal Drug Enforcement Unit said, “It is disturbing to hear that someone who is a leader of his community and a faith leader could be involved in the sale and distribution of illegal drugs.”

The investigation into Parker’s activities began when detectives received a tip that he was dealing drugs. After conducting surveillance of his residence, detectives obtained a search warrant and uncovered nearly three pounds of methamphetamine, fentanyl, and cocaine. In addition to the drugs, detectives also found evidence of money laundering at the residence.

The news of Parker’s arrest has garnered attention from both local and national media outlets. Many have expressed concern over the drug dealer pastor and what his arrest means for the community. In a statement to KIRO7 News, a local resident said, “It’s a shame because people like him are supposed to be role models for our kids and our community.”
