If you're a frequent user of the Burke-Gilman Trail, you may have noticed King County Sheriff deputies out patrolling parts of the trail.
They are providing trail users, ranging from bicyclists, pedestrians, runners, skaters, and others, with information about keeping everyone safe - conduct rules, posted speed limits, leash laws and other rules.
If a deputy sees a violation, such as exceeding the 15 mph speed limit, alcohol use or not following pet laws, you could be issued a warning or a fine.
Sheriff’s deputies will be handing out copies of the trails code of conduct, which you can also find here.
The enhanced enforcement and safety program will continue through Labor Day on selected portions of the Burke-Gilman trail as well as parts of the Sammamish River trails, both part of the Regional Trail System, at a cost of about $20,000 which is funded through the King County Parks budget.
