Livestock may not run at large in Snohomish County. SCC 9.16.010 designates the entire county a stock-restricted area, so horses, mules, donkeys, cattle, goats, sheep, and swine cannot roam free. Loose livestock may be impounded at the owner's expense.
Under SCC 9.16.010, adopted pursuant to chapter 16.24 RCW (state stock-restricted-area law), all of Snohomish County is a stock-restricted area. Livestock of any kind - including horses, mules, donkeys, cattle, goats, sheep, and swine - may not run at large within county boundaries. Owners must keep such animals fenced or otherwise contained. Animal Control investigates at-large livestock, and impounded livestock is subject to a transportation charge under SCC 9.16.020. Keeping livestock on your own land is a Title 30 zoning question; the running-at-large ban is a separate animal-control rule that applies countywide.
At-large livestock may be seized and impounded; the owner is liable for transportation and impound charges (SCC 9.16.020) and any damage the animals cause.
