Their critics have predicted it and it’s finally coming true—the Burien City Council is going to the dogs.

The B-Town Dog Owners Group has issued an “All Paws on Deck” call for dog owners to bring their canines to the council meeting on Monday, Oct. 1 at 7 p.m. The council meetings are held in the first-floor multipurpose room at the City Hall/Burien Library building, 400 S.W. 152nd St.

The B-Towners are a group of local dog owners who want to establish an off-leash dog park in the city of Burien. Hilltop and Hazel Valley parks have been mentioned as possible sites. Currently, the nearest off-leash area is at Grandview Park in south SeaTac.

They plan to ask lawmakers on Monday to formally put the dog park on the park board’s 2013 master plan.

The group is asking for dog owners to testify during the public comment session or just show up to lend support. There is no word whether the dogs will “SPEAK,” also.
