City considers ordinance making feeding ducks a crime
Mountlake Terrace officials review a new ordinance to make feeding waterfowl on public property within 1000 yards of Lake Ballinger illegal a misdemeanor with up to 90 days in jail and a 300 fine. The measure aims to curb duck litter pollution at Ballinger Park and the lake while addressing urbanized, bolder birds and trespassing on the golf course. Public support is mixed with community club leaders voicing concerns over hunting ties, while Mayor Lois Anderson and City Manager Bob White push for enforcement after five days.
