New policy bans smoking on zoo grounds
Woodland Park Zoo is going smoke-free.
The new policy, which goes into effect Thursday, bans smoking on the Seattle zoo’s grounds. Smoking already was prohibited in zoo buildings and near animal exhibits.
“Providing a quality experience for our visitors is a priority for the zoo, and smoking on grounds has recently been the No. 1 complaint,” said zoo President and CEO Deborah Jensen.
The zoo is open every day except Dec. 25.
