Police raided a Chinese restaurant in Seattle's Rainier Valley on Tuesday in a drug enforcement case.

Witnesses described officers and armored trucks pulling the doors off the Jumbo Chinese Restaurant, located in a strip mall near the intersection of Rainier Avenue South and South Genesse Street.

"There was about 30-40 on either side, swat team, camouflage, they hooked up some chains to the grate of the door  and yanked it off," said Bryan Kinder. "They were fully armed and ready for whatever was going to happen."

Washington State Patrol spokesman Bob Calkins said troopers were assisting the Eastside Narcotics Task Force.

Seattle Police also assisted.

By mid-afternoon Tuesday, law enforcement agents were still on scene and were seen removing items from the building.
