Tacoma looks at new sex-offender law
Committee considers Issaquah ordinance that restricts housing near schools, day cares

Tacoma officials are looking north to a small King County city for a new approach to severely restrict where sex offenders can live.
Mayor Bill Baarsma asked the council’s Public Safety and Human Services Committee to take a look at a copy of a groundbreaking law passed Monday by the Issaquah City Council.
The Issaquah ordinance, spurred by community outrage over two sex offenders’ plans to move into a residential neighborhood, is the stiffest in the state.

That’s more restrictive than recently enacted state law that prohibits some sex offenders from living within 880 feet of a public or private school.
Issaquah’s ordinance, designed “to promote the safety of children and other members of the community,” has captured the interest of officials in a number of Puget Sound-area cities.
[snip]
Tacoma Councilman Tom Stenger said he sees both the Iowa decision and the Issaquah ordinance as good news for people worried about sex offenders.
Stiffer restrictions on where registered sex offenders can live would be welcome in Tacoma, which already is “taking more than our fair share” of felons, Stenger said.
Proximity laws are definately starting to spread in Washington State. Where do they expect these sex offenders to live? Don't they know that by enacting these laws, they may drive sex offenders underground? Especially when you consider that some law enforcement juridictions are harassing sex offenders with so called address verifications.
