Coffee with the Cop
Join the Normandy Park Police, along with some of your neighbors, for Coffee with a Cop. We encourage you to come and gather with local law enforcement agencies for coffee and conversation. No agenda or speeches, just a chance to ask questions, voice your concerns, and get to know your community police officers.
This event will be held on Tuesday, February 27th, at 10:00 am at the Normandy Park Starbucks. In addition to our Normandy Park Officers, representatives from the Seatac and Burien Police Departments will also be in attendance. Please join us for Coffee with a Cop!

Looking for nominations for the City’s Heritage Tree Program
Did you know that the City has a Heritage Tree Program? The program intends to celebrate, promote, preserve, and educate the public about one of our greatest assets: our trees.
This program recognizes unique and significant trees. What makes a tree “significant”? It is a tree or collection of trees acknowledged and valued for its unique characteristics that set it apart from similar trees. The criteria to be classified as a Heritage Tree include:
· Has historical significance to a person, place, or event.
· Has attained significant size in height, caliper, or canopy spread for its age and species.
· Has special aesthetic qualities for its species.
· Possesses rare horticulture value.
Anyone can nominate a tree for recognition, but the property owner must approve all applications before being considered. The Normandy Park Heritage Tree Program is voluntary and optional and will not create additional protection on these trees. We believe that the formal recognition and educational value of the designation will encourage tree preservation.
We currently have six trees that have been designated, but we know there are more in our community. Visit the Heritage Tree page on our website to learn more and to start your application.
If you have any questions, please get in touch with me at aarrington@normandyparkwa.gov. Have a great week!

Summer is here, and we are all enjoying the fantastic sunny weather. When considering what adventure the family will have next, be sure to include a visit to all the Normandy Park parks. The City of Normandy Park has over 100 acres of parkland, all of which are open to the public. Currently, the City manages seven named parks, one named preserve, and a variety of open spaces. Each provides a variety of recreation amenities and experiences for the Normandy Park community to enjoy.
Weekly Report – July 12, 2024
The City of Normandy Park is considering the construction of a new multi-use sport court. This court would focus on pickleball and basketball and is championed by the Normandy Park Metropolitan Parks District (or City Council).
Some fun facts about the Normandy Park Metropolitan Parks District (MPD):
It was formed in 2009 when voters approved the formation of a metropolitan park district.
The MPD has the authority to create, manage, control, improve, maintain, and acquire parks and recreational facilities.
The City Council of Normandy Park is authorized to serve as the board of metropolitan park commissioners.
The MPD can assess Normandy Park property owners a levy to support the City’s parks.
The City of Normandy Park owns, operates, and maintains all the parks. The MPD is important because it financially covers the costs of these efforts.
