    Seriously lady in the silver Nissan Murano with your two black labs at Greg Davis park this morning? I don’t understand why you feel like you are above the law. Just so you know, I will be meeting with an animal control officer later today and sharing the video of you with your off-leash dogs, as well as your plate number and a description of your vehicle. I sincerely hope they issue you a citation. Listen up West Seattle: if we don’t start doing something about this issue ourselves, its not going to change! Stand up for your parks and sidewalks and gardens! Take action! Call animal control or non-emergency if they aren’t open. Try to get as much of a description as possible, video really helps! Of course, be safe, and don’t put yourselves in danger.

    Unfortunately, unless they’ve changed their policy, no citation will be issued unless you make your own name known to the offender. Anonymous complaints will only result in a warning (if they do anything at all.)

    Just spoke with Animal Control, they are issuing a warning since it’s a first offense. If someone calls with info on a second offense, then they will issue a citation. Research into the ordinance has shown that they can issue a citation based on a citizen complaint, which is good to know, since there’s no way an AC officer could ever respond to a complaint before the offender leaves the area. Bottom line, if you see it, report it.

    Sounds like they are taking more action than they used to. Good to know.

    Thank you for taking action! If people just complain on the blog, things won’t change. Speak up and speak out!
