The smuggling tunnel ran from an abandoned greenhouse on the Canadian side, to an abandoned house near Lynden in northern Washington State.

Border Patrol spokesman Joe Guliano tells KOMO News the tunnel could be used for drugs or worse!

"For any other purpose the owner of the tunnel would care to make it available for," Guliano says.

Officials had been watching the construction for eight months. Why let them finish it?

"When you have something on this scale that requires that type of funding to accomplish you have to wonder who's behind the thing," he says. "To fill the thing with cement when it's half done doesn't answer those questions."

The tunnel is about 150 yards long, four feet wide and four feet tall with concrete reinforcement throughout.

This is believed to be the first such tunnel ever found in this part of the country. Three arrests have been made. Specifics of the case were to be revealed later today.

Drug-smuggling tunnel found under Canadian border

​

SEATTLE, Washington (AP) -- Federal agents have shut down a drug-smuggling tunnel built under the U.S.-Canadian border north of Seattle -- the first such tunnel discovered on the nation's northern border, federal officials said Thursday.​

​

Authorities had been monitoring construction of the tunnel for eight months and sealed it shortly after it opened Wednesday, making three to five arrests in the process, a government employee who had been briefed by local law enforcement officials told The Associated Press.​

​

The employee spoke Wednesday on the condition of anonymity because the news had not been made public.​

​

A news release Thursday morning from U.S. Attorney John McKay confirmed the tunnel, calling it the first found on the northern border. A news conference was scheduled for later Thursday, and no further details were given.​

​

Federal authorities have discovered at least 12 tunnels along the U.S.-Mexico border since September 11, 2001, some of them only partially completed. Last year, Homeland Security began using technology developed by geophysicists to pinpoint suspicious terrain.​

​

The U.S.-Canada tunnel ran from a greenhouse on the Canadian side to within about 100 yards of an abandoned house on the U.S. side, 300 feet from the border, according to the government source.​

​

Michael Milne, a spokesman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, declined to comment. The source said the investigation was handled largely by the Drug Enforcement Administration and the FBI, but FBI agent Roberta A. Burroughs in Seattle said it was "another federal agency's investigation."​

​

The tunnel was found north of Lynden, about 90 miles north of Seattle​
