On Friday morning, students at Eastlake High School in Sammamish traded regular class time for a blunt warning about fentanyl. Federal agents and local partners were on campus to talk about the spike in counterfeit pills, while a mother who lost her daughter to the drug told teens how fast a single pill can turn fatal. Organizers said the session was meant to give students concrete steps to stay safe as families and officials across the region confront a wave of fentanyl-laced pills circulating on social apps and in school communities.
