The Journal: Feds move to seize properties
Many questions remain. For instance, what is the connection between the other properties raided, like those in northern Humboldt? What property in McKinleyville was searched? A sheriff’s spokesperson said it didn’t assist with that search because all six available officers were sent to help secure the 2,000 acres in Southern Humboldt. Also, how is the house on Virginia Way in Arcata connected?
“I have no idea,” said Miu Ling Elkins, who owns the Arcata house with her husband, Robert. The Elkins were reached by phone in Novato this weekend. Miu Ling said the Arcata house tenant, whose identity has not been reported, is “neat and clean; she pays her rent on time.”
The Elkins bought 12 houses in Arcata in 1992 and 1993 to rent to students for a long-term investment. “They were so cheap,” Miu Ling said. All 12 properties are managed by Humboldt Property Management Group. There have been a few complaints or suspicions of a rental being used as a grow house in the past, but the Elkins said they move quickly to evict such tenants.
“It really wrecks a house,” said her husband, Robert.

I haven't heard any talk about a house in McKinleyville being raided, other than what's in the paper - no one seems to know where or who...
Maybe it was an outlying area of McKinleyville? Not actually in downtown McKinleyville.
