I've lived in Thurston County for 33 years and just found out about pet licensing a couple years ago, I've spoken to several friends and family members who've lived here as long or longer, and they hadn't heard of it either. What this neglects is that the number of pets per household is also limited by law to a total of any combination of two cats or dogs, many residents of Thurston County have more than two pets, asking them to come forward with licensing when they are otherwise not compliant with the law could leave folks feeling like they are risk of losing their pets, or facing potential criminal actions, even a fine is enough for most to avoid complicity.

From: Thurston County received 21.6% more animal-related calls in 2024, pet licensing encouraged
