I received an alert today from the Seattle Parks Department about heightened enforcement of dog off-leash violations. Watch out SLU Pet Owners, that romp through Cascade Park could cost ya.
On the weekend of Feb. 21 — the first weekend of heightened enforcement — Animal Shelter officers issued 14 citations for dogs off leash, mostly at Volunteer and Ravenna/Cowen parks. Fines for off-leash, license and scooping violations range from $54 to $162, and can be up to $500 at a beach. Parks and Animal Shelter Humane Law Enforcement Officers will continue to meet on a regular basis to identify parks where targeted enforcement is needed.
Your tax-payer dollars at work! For now, the nearest off-leash park is the I-5 Colonnade.
