I'm trying to keep on top of this latest violence in South Seattle.  I've been getting a lot of emails and such about this.  I believe there is some kind of a gang tie to this.  The older victim has been confirmed at George "P-Nutt" Hendricks, he was one of the original 74 Hoover members in Seattle.  The second victim is Lucky Mike Dozier.  It is said he was from Sacramento, California.  I will update my website with more information as I come across it.  Be Safe!

Just a few things here.  In the King County listing I've added the following female gangs to the website.  Play Girl Surenas 13, KnoccOut Bitches and Lady Thuggin Savages.  I've also added West Side Gangster Disciple Nation and Highway Hoovers to the King County listing.  I actually knew about both those gangs, but for whatever reason I overlooked putting them on here.

Today I will be following up on a tip that there is some Surenos/Nortenos rival gang graffiti in the South End.  I will post the photos if I find anything.  Also this weekend (Feb. 17th-19th) I will be in Yakima and I will try to find some graffiti while I'm down there.

Also recently the Seattle Weekly ran a story on my Google gang maps click here to read so that was pretty cool, go check that out.  That's all for now.

First thing, the word is a Norteno gang member was shot last night (02/03/12) in the "Blacks Addition" area of Moses Lake.  I guess this area is known for it's gang and drug related activities.  Last thing I've heard is the victim is in very critical condition in a Spokane hospital.  His street name is "Sapo".  I'm not ready to release his birth name.  

Second, this week I finished updating the Seattle map, and I think I nailed it as best as I could.  So go ahead and check that out!  Just click the "Gang territory maps" link above.

That's it for now.  I'll keep ya'll updated on the Moses Lake shooting.

Wow this month is flying by fast, I didn't really realize how long it's been since my last update.  Just a few things I want to let everyone know about.

1) With the help of a reliable source I've made a much needed update to the Eugene, Oregon gang listing.  I don't believe it is 100% complete, but it is a good start!  So I'm glad to get that headed in the right direction.

2) A new gang called "South Side Tokers" have been added to the Bellingham, Washington listing.  They are a split from "South Side Whittier Tokers" gang.  I am following up on two other Sureno gangs that I might add to this list in the near future.

3) Currently I am working on the Seattle gang territory Google map.  I'm running into a few road blocks, but I should have it back online soon.  Also I will be re-visiting my Seattle gang listing, primarily the Central District listing.  I've been seeing a few things online that I want to get more info on, then make a update.

4) Last but not least, I am looking for feedback from my web viewers.  You are the ones who visit this site, so I want to know what kind of information you are seeking when you visit Northwest Gangs.  I can use all the help I can get so don't hesitate to send me a email at, northwestgangs@gmail.com

That's all for now folks, so until next time, be safe!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 01/03/2012
 
Well another year in the books for Northwest Gangs.  The year 2011 was good for the website.  The website had 84,842 views in 2011.  I'm amazed how much my website has grown since I started my quest to find out what gangs were in our cities way back in 2004.  Back then I didn't even know what the Gangster Disciples were or what side of Yakima the Surenos and Nortenos claimed.  I have learned a lot!  

Thanks to everyone who visits my site, and please send me a email if you have any questions I can help you with. I will strive to bring you the most accurate information, and continue to run the best website on Northwest street gangs in 2012.

Recently the Nation Drug Intelligence Center updated their report for Washington State.  I have removed the 2009 report and updated it with the 2011 report.  You can now read or download this straight from my website by clicking here.

Happy Holidays! 12/13/2011
 
Another year is coming to a end, and I would like to thank everyone who has shown me support and viewed my website this year.  Running a website on a subject a lot of people are afraid to talk about has it's difficulties, but I promise to continue my hard work and bring everyone the most accurate and up to date information on criminal street gangs in the Northwest.  

There are several things I would like to accomplish in the year 2012, one is make consistent revenue for the website.  So if you are a business owner, or have a program or group you would like to advertise on my website please contact me at (northwestgangs@gmail.com).  I can post advertising on my website for a small fee, pricing is negotiable.  

Other things I'm interested in are updating my gang territory maps.  I believe some of them might be outdated, so I will work on updating those and creating new maps for cities that I don't currently have.  I would like to get maps for Mount Vernon, Washington and Spokane, Washington published soon.

Also I will revisit my gang listings for all the cities and counties and try to add new gangs that I don't have posted, or remove gangs that I believe are no longer in existence.  Gangs change things up all the time, so it is important for me to stay on top of this to make sure I am publishing correct information.

I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Years!  Be safe out there!

Just checking in 11/28/2011
 
I don't have a whole lot for my blog today, been kind of quiet around here.  I just added two new names to the Gang death section.  On the Flickr page I have added some new photos also.  I hope to make my way around Seattle this weekend to try and find some new gang graffiti.  Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving, and be safe out there!

Things have seemed to slow down for now.  I haven't heard of much activity other than a few shootings here and there.  I was in Yakima and Tacoma recently and took several new photos of gang graffiti.  Visit my Flickr page to check those out.  I'm working on several side projects, but nothing really new for the website.  Although I did add one new gang to the Yakima listing, "Locos Por Vida" their graffiti has been showing up around Yakima, and I was told that they do have a small presence in the city.  Anyways that's all for now, take care and have a safe Thanksgiving weekend next week!
