Normandy Park City Manager’s Report for week ending Jan. 28, 2022

Normandy Park Animal Etiquette
We love our pets! As we begin the slow march to Spring, it seems like a good time to remind people of proper dog etiquette and city animal control services.

First, anytime you are off private property in Normandy Park, your dog must be either leashed or under voice control. This includes City Parks.  Before allowing your dog to approach other dogs it is important to get the other owner’s permission.  Please always pick up after your dogs and dispose of their waste properly.

Another important item you need to remember as a pet owner is to get a pet license. Purchasing a license and attaching it to your pet’s collar is one of the most important things you can do as a responsible pet owner. Displaying a current license tag on your pet’s collar makes it easy to locate a lost pet’s information quickly. It could be your pet’s ticket home, and it’s also the law. Licenses can be purchased by visiting City Hall. In addition, if your pet is chipped, please be sure to keep your contact information up to date.

As you probably know, the Police Department is responsible for animal control in Normandy Park. And offers the following services:

Animal cruelty investigations

  • Educational information about pets and pet ownership
  • Impoundment of stray animals
  • Nuisance animal complaint investigations
  • Rescue of sick or injured animals
  • Enforcement of animal control laws
  • Referral to other animal service agencies

If you are interested in learning more about the city’s ordinances on animal control, the complete animal regulations are online in NPMC Title 6.

Parks & Recreation Survey
We’re eager to hear from you in a brief, anonymous survey about the City of Normandy Park Parks & Recreation programming. The goal is to reach as many residents as possible and to keep the survey brief, for your convenience. This survey is for Normandy Park residents and the surrounding community. Each household can take the survey one time. Paper copies of this survey will be available at Normandy Park City Hall.  You can also visit the city website at https://normandyparkwa.gov/ to take the survey.
