Until now, most of the work being done at the new Regional Animal Services of King County (RASKC) shelter location has been focused on the interior of the building.

Recently, the county’s Facilities Management Division (FMD) worked with a local landscaping company to revitalize the exterior landscaping, opening multiple parking spaces, public walkways, and an entry point to the nearby Green River Trail that had been overrun by weeds and overgrown trees.

When the new facility officially opens, the public will be able to park their cars onsite, adopt a pet, and then access the trail to walk their new furry family member. King County is working hard to ensure that this shelter not only benefits RASKC visitors, but also the local community.
