Pet Licensing Community Outreach
|
|
Staff from Regional Animal Services of King County (RASKC) will visit Newcastle neighborhoods on weekends starting June 8 to inform residents about the benefits of pet licensing and ensure that pets are properly licensed. If a representative finds an unlicensed pet, they will not issue a citation. Instead, they will provide a free temporary license, which provides pet owners time to purchase a permanent license.
King County pet licensing representatives are easily recognized by their King County ID badges, RASKC logo shirts or jackets, business cards, and pet licensing documents. As King County employees, they follow strict guidelines regarding professional conduct. Staff will not peer in windows or over fences looking for pets. They will knock on doors to speak to an adult resident at the home. If no one is available, staff will leave a door hanger to let residents know that a RASKC representative stopped by. Canvassing hours are Saturday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday from 1 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

The Newcastle Historic Cemetery was open to the public over Memorial Day weekend. One of Newcastle’s greatest treasures sits on a forested hillside overlooking Lake Boren. It stands as a reminder of the city’s rich coal-mining past, but it’s easy to miss, hidden behind a fence and closed to the public to keep out vandals.
Did you get a chance to explore it last weekend?
