Persons who choose to use designated off leash areas must:

2. have the dog(s) currently licensed with license tags displayed on the dog(s); and
3. possess scoop equipment and dispose of the fecal matter deposited by the dog(s) in an appropriate manner.

Violation of the Seattle Municipal Code pertaining to animals may result in fines ranging from $50.00 to $150.00 for each violation.
