Letters | Are Valley's leash laws being enforced?


November 13, 2012 · 2:51 PM

Unfortunately, more and more individuals exhibit little to no respect for our laws; even little ones like our leash laws.

Not only does King County have a leash law, but North Bend also does.

After being chased by large dogs, unleashed and often unattended, I have posted copies of the law in parks for public awareness, but the problem persists.

My question is: Is the leash law actually being enforced, and what should I do when confronted by threatening dogs not on a leash?
