Help Keep Pets Safe in Normandy Park – License Your Dog
We love our pets here in Normandy Park, and one of the simplest ways to keep them safe is by making sure they’re licensed.
Why is pet licensing important?
Even the most well-behaved dogs can escape—a door accidentally left open, a loose fence board, or a collar that slips off during a walk. When a dog goes missing, it can be a scary experience for both the pet and their owner. A current license tag greatly increases the chances of a quick reunion by providing an easily visible way to identify your dog and contact you directly.
While microchipping is a great backup, not everyone has a chip reader. A license tag offers immediate identification for anyone who finds your pet. Plus, it clearly signals that your dog is not a stray and has a home and family. When you register your dog, your contact information is added to the City’s licensing database. If your pet is found by the Normandy Park Police Department and is wearing a license tag, officers can quickly use that information to contact you and help get your furry friend back home.
Licensing requirements
All dogs over six months old and living in Normandy Park are required to be licensed. You can license your dog in person at City Hall during regular business hours or by mail. Just submit a completed application, proof of spay/neuter, and a check for the appropriate fee. If applying by mail, your dog’s license tag will be mailed to your home.
For questions or help with the application, contact Shelly Bedingfield, Administrative Assistant, at 206-248-7603.
Make pet licensing a priority.
That small tag on their collar could make a big difference. Help protect your pet—and give yourself peace of mind—by ensuring they’re properly licensed today.
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!

City Manager Report – November 14, 2025
City Council Meeting Roundup on Wednesday, November 12th, the Normandy Park City Council held its regular monthly meeting. Below is a summary of key actions and discussions. The City has accepted a Flood Control District Flood Reduction Grant – The City is receiving a $750,000 grant award that will be used towards the purchase of property to expand Marine View Park. The Interlocal Agreement with the South Correctional Entity (SCORE) Jail was updated – The City Council approved specific financial adjustments to help cover jail costs. Approving this amendment will enable the City of Normandy Park to continue uninterrupted jail services that work seamlessly with our Court and provide the most benefit to Normandy Park residents. Even with the approved increases, this agreement is still the most affordable option available to us for our short-term commitments.

What’s Next for City Hall? We often receive the question, “What’s going on with replacing City Hall?” I would like to take this opportunity to provide an update on the project’s status and outline the next steps. As many residents know, the future of Normandy Park City Hall has been a topic of discussion for several years. Our current building was originally constructed in the 1950s as an elementary school and later converted into City Hall in the late 1980s. While it has served the community well, it was never intended to function as a modern municipal facility. As a result, the City has been exploring options to ensure that we have a safe, efficient, and functional building that can continue to serve residents daily.
