9.    The premises involved are known to have been reported to law enforcement as a place suspected of drug activity pursuant to Chapter 69.52 RCW;

10.    Any vehicle involved is registered to a known unlawful drug user, possessor, or seller, or a person for whom there is an outstanding warrant for a crime involving drug-related activity.

D.    Penalty. Any person convicted of a violation of this section shall be guilty of a gross misdemeanor and shall be punished by a fine not to exceed five thousand dollars, or by imprisonment in jail for a period not to exceed three hundred sixty-four days, or by both such fine and imprisonment.
