City Manager Amy Arrington
Come to Wednesday’s Town Hall meeting to see a demonstration of the City’s Anti-Pursuit Equipment
On Wednesday, April 23rd, from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm, at City Hall, the City Council will host its quarterly Town Hall meeting. The Normandy Park Police Department will start this meeting by demonstrating our anti-pursuit equipment.
Some residents might ask, “What is anti-pursuit equipment?” In short, it’s a vehicle-mounted GPS Launcher that deploys a GPS tracking tag onto a suspect’s vehicle. Once the GPS tag sticks to the vehicle, it tracks it so that our Police Department can plan and coordinate an informed response while maintaining community and officer safety. We are excited to show off this equipment, which was funded 100% by a grant.
In addition to this demonstration, you can learn more about our upcoming projects and get a sneak peek at the 2025 Citizen Satisfaction Survey at the Town Hall Meeting. You will also have time to talk with the City Council. We hope to see you on Wednesday!
If you have any questions about the information above or any other City topic, please get in touch with me at aarrington@normandyparkwa.gov. Have a great week!

Grant Opportunity for our Local Businesses Economic development is vital to our City, so we are always on the lookout for opportunities to support our local businesses. Because of this, I want to share some information about a grant that could help a Normandy Park business flourish. Comcast RISE is supporting the growth of small businesses and entrepreneurs committed to uplifting their local communities. The program is built to help businesses and their communities thrive with a focus on economic growth. To date, Comcast RISE has awarded 14,000 small businesses with over $140 million in monetary, marketing, and technology grants, and Comcast RISE is back in 2025.

•Waste Management Annual Report Presentation – The City Council received the annual update from Waste Management. We heard more about Waste Management’s operations and Normandy Park’s waste stream.
•Parks Commission Annual Presentation – The Parks Commission, working with City staff, has had a productive year. This presentation highlighted the projects and programs that occurred over the past year.
•Approval of the Trails Connectivity Program – The City’s Long-Term Property Acquisition Ad Hoc Committee has completed its recommendation to promote trail connectivity in Normandy Park. The recommendation was approved, and staff will start researching ownership and property details of the proposed trail connections. Owners will be contacted shortly and invited to communicate with staff to discuss and hopefully negotiate easements and required improvements to enable trail connections.
