RE: Orion and Emerald Motels
The Orion used to be owned by two brothers, Jason and John Kim. They sold the motel after a major bust and six-month undercover investigation. The name changed to the Emerald after the new owners bought it, my understanding is that these are the same folks who own The Emerald motel farther up 99 in Edmonds as well. However, none of that is really all that important, what is important is that this motel, under a variety of owners, has always been involved in the street scene on AA and the city does watch it. I think most who read this forum already know, but as a reminder everyone should be careful there regardless of ownership.

[QUOTE=SmokeDogg206;6560801]The Orion and Emerald are the same motel. Orion was it's name way like 7-8 years ago, Emerald is the more current name. Both owned by the not so nice, Mr & Mrs Lee. I hate them with the passion.[/QUOTE]
