Des Moines already has BSL, and because it’s not working very well, the city council considered making the breed-specific ordinance even more strict. These plans have now been tabled (put on hold indefinitely).

Des Moines already has breed-specific regulations. Obviously, their BSL isn’t working very well, so they are considering moving toward an all-out ban on “pit bulls.”
Council members will discuss the ban at 7:30 a.m. on Aug. 24 at City Hall and the public is invited to comment.

The city website is user-friendly and provides timely agendas and agenda packets: http://www.ci.covington.wa.us/
