King County issues warning against illegal hunting

2005 Archived News

King County is seeking the public’s assistance in identifying and notifying authorities of individuals found hunting on King County Parks-owned property, which is prohibited by law.

"We are seeking cooperation from the public in identifying individuals who are not only breaking the law but could easily cause harm or serious injury to residents who live within range of the properties," said King County Parks Director Kevin Brown. "Fortunately we haven't had any accidents but with hunting season around the corner we need to remind people that we do not allow this activity on any of our properties."

If you have questions or want to report suspicious activity at one of the King County Parks, please call 206-296-4232 or contact the local sheriff's department. Individuals that witness and would like to report a hunting violation may also call WDFW's poaching hotline at 1-800-477-6224.
