Imagine a park full of dog poop. Would you want to go there?
There was time that the Edmonds Off-leash area for dogs (located at the south end of Marina Beach) was like that. Citizens were growing tired of it.
But instead of pounding fists at the podium during the council meeting, this group of citizens decided to take matters into their own hands. They formed a non-profit organization called O.L.A.E, and began volunteering their own time to clean up the park for the benefit of the citizens. They also raised money to help support the park and educate dog owners on how to keep the park clean.
Now dogs and their owners have a better park to play in. Thanks to citizens who volunteered their own time to solve a community problem.
Their group has many active participants including council candidate Diane Buckshnis, who is one of their founding members and their current treasurer.

i wonder if the city would incorporate an OLAE for cats since the ridiculous CAT LEASH LAW incorporated in 2006?! Yes, i am being sarcastic. It is a cruel and unenforceable Law that deserves a second look and reconsideration.
