Licensed pets get a free ride home the first time they're lost and purchasing a license helps fund the life saving services of the Regional Animal Services of King County.
It’s a popular time of year to adopt an animal friend and for excited owners who are pondering the perfect name for their new pet, here is 2017’s top 10 list of popular animal names in King County.
If a licensed pet is lost, the finder can call the phone number on the pet’s tag and quickly get the owner’s contact information 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Pets get a free ride home the first time they’re found, allowing owners to skip a trip to the shelter. Pet licenses also help fund RASKC and the important work it does.
Licensing your pet is good for them and your family, but it’s about more than that. You’re doing your part so RASKC’s shelter can help thousands of other animals get well and find new homes. It’s important, humane work.

A quick summary of how I've been working for the residents of District 9 on issues like dam safety, park improvements, the 100th Anniversary of World War I, law enforcement, fighting to keep garbage service, and more.
Councilmember Dunn is joined by twins Cooper and Quinn Mansanarez, the first two people to enter the 2017 King County Fair! (L-R) Washington State Representative Morgan Irwin, Councilmember Dunn, Bert the Salmon, former Enumclaw Mayor Liz Reynolds, Scoop the Dog, and twins Quinn and Cooper Mansanarez holding their fair tickets.
2017 has been a busy year at the King County Council and for the communities I represent.
In addition to my regular work on the Council, I hosted four town hall meetings for unincorporated areas, two of the cities I represent celebrated their 20th anniversaries (Maple Valley and Covington), and my colleague Rod Dembowski and I honored the King County employees who served in World War I.
I was also reelected to the King County Council. I am very honored to be serving the people of District 9 for the next four years and I look forward to continuing to learn and grow in this next term.
As Chair of the King County Flood Control District, I cosponsored legislation to assess the safety of our local dams and emergency evacuation plans after the near failure of the Oroville Dam. I also saw the completion of two major projects, a stormwater pipe replacement on Molasses Creek in Fairwood and the Countyline Levee Setback Project along the Lower White River.
This summer I partnered with the King County Parks Division to host three outdoor movie nights for unincorporated communities. We had a great turn out and I was able to present a number of 'Get Active, Stay Active' grant awards to local sports organizations before each showing.
Pinnacle Peak, one of the most popular trails owned by King County Parks in my district, got a boost after I secured $10,000 in the King County Budget to go towards efforts to restore the historic fire lookout. I look forward to seeing how this great community project progresses.
I was also able to secure an additional 1,100 hours for unincorporated area traffic safety patrols, sponsored legislation to fund a joint study with the City of Issaquah to improve the Issaquah-Hobart Road corridor, and I worked with my colleagues to stall efforts to implement an every other week garbage service policy in unincorporated areas through 2018. I will continue to watch this issue closely in the coming year.
As always, if you have questions or comments please contact my office by emailing Reagan.Dunn@kingcounty.gov or calling 206-477-1009.
