Enumclaw City Council · August 10, 2026

Summary

Volunteer raisers invited the community to celebrate 40 years of Guide Dogs for the Blind in Enumclaw on Aug. 22; speakers said the local program has raised 308 dogs and about 131 became guide dogs.

Jenna Decker, a volunteer with the local Guide Dogs for the Blind group, invited residents to a 40th‑anniversary celebration on Aug. 22 at Trinity Lutheran, 1–4 p.m., and said the community has been deeply involved in raising and training dogs for decades.

"Enumclaw has raised 308 dogs. Of those 308 dogs, about 131 of them have become guide dogs for the blind," Decker said, and she encouraged residents to attend the event, which will include a puppy truck and presentations about the program’s local work. The group highlighted longstanding partnerships with the school district and downtown businesses that have accommodated training dogs.

The announcement came during the council’s public comment period. Decker described the event as family friendly and open to the public and asked listeners to contact the group with questions.
