OLYMPIA LAW WOULD DESIGNATE DOWNTOWN 'DRUG-FREE ZONES'
The Olympia City Council will consider a new law at its April 1
meeting that would establish several drug-free zones downtown.
The proposed ordinance is part of an effort to combat the use of
illegal drugs such as heroin and methamphetamine. If approved, the
ordinance would designate five "civic centers" where drug use is
prohibited within 1,000 feet. These publicly owned and operated civic
centers include the Hands On Children's Museum, The Washington Center,
The Olympia Center, Olympia City Hall and the Olympia Timberland
Regional Library.
If approved by the City Council, the ordinance would enhance penalties
for felony drug offenses and also prohibit repeat offenders from
returning to those zones. The law excludes offenses related to
"marijuana leaves and flowering tops."
