Fentanyl report shows drug's impact on Central WA

Task force examines possible ways to address illicit drug that kills daily

YAKIMA — Congressman Dan Newhouse, R–Wash., said he wanted to learn more about fentanyl and its impact in Central Washington after a conversation with a constituent. “There’s an individual in my district, actually from Yakima, who called my office with a very compelling story about his family. He had two sons that, within a short amount of time, passed away because of fentanyl overdoses,” Newhouse said. “He came to the realization that something needs to be done.”
