King County Animal Services, Washington

Wildlife Problem: 206.799.6403 - NOT FREE

King County Animal Services, and the city of Seattle in the state of Washington, will assist you in the event of a problem with a dog or cat or domestic animal. If you have a problem or nuisance dog complaint or a bite report or a cat issue, call the county, and it will be taken care of for you. If you have a problem with a wild animal such as a raccoon or an opossum, call the wildlife number above. You will pay a fee to a private trapper in order to have your wild animal issue resolved. There is no free city service or free county services for wild animal control problems. Wild animals are handled by private wildlife trapping companies that do a far better job, with better training, than any government agency could provide. If you want to report a rabid animal, you can call the county, but they will not come out and trap and remove the animal for you. If you hear noises in your attic, even if it's caused by a cat, the county will not assist in that matter. If your neighbor has a dangerous dog, like a pit-bull, and it is threatening you or your family, King County Animal Services will help. If you find a litter of kittens under the local dumpster, the county will help for free.
