Animal Control in Normandy Park
As part of the 2025 Citizen Satisfaction survey, residents are being asked about animal control. While it is still early in our data collection, 38% of respondents say they don’t know or have no opinion on these services. In 2024, it was about the same percentage. So, I wanted to give you some additional information on animal control in Normandy Park.
In Normandy Park, the Police Department is responsible for animal control 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
Regarding stray or found animals, Normandy Park Police will pick up and temporarily hold dogs. Social media and a pet chip scanner are used to locate pet owners. The Department can scan cats for chips but will not take custody of a cat. If you have a found or injured cat, please call a local shelter or feline rescue.
The City also works hard to promote good pet etiquette. Anytime you are off private property in Normandy Park, your dog must be leashed or under voice control. This includes City Parks. If you and your dog cross paths with another dog, getting the other owner’s permission is essential before allowing your dog to approach. Please always pick up after your dogs and dispose of their waste correctly.
Another essential 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 quickly locate a lost pet’s information. 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.
The City’s animal regulations can be found online in NPMC Title 6.
If you have any questions about these or other topics, please get in touch with me at aarrington@normandyparkwa.gov. Have a great week!

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.
