Prostitutes Burien
Burien City Council is considering an ordinance that would ban prostitutes from operating within 500 feet of schools, parks, and other areas where children congregate.
Resident Concerns and Legal Penalties
The proposed law comes after residents complained about an increase in prostitution activity in the city. If passed, violators could face up to 90 days in jail and a $1,000 fine.
Council Debate and Neighborhood Impact
Some council members argue the law would push prostitution into other neighborhoods, while others say it’s necessary to protect children. The council is expected to vote on the ordinance next month.
