New Domestic Violence Law

The Federal Way City Council enacted two new domestic violence crimes, which became effective June 29, 2006. One crime is committing domestic violence in the presence of a child or witnessed by a child. Child is defined as the victim’s minor child, stepchild or minor child residing within the household. The second crime is committing domestic violence strangulation when it is not a felony. 

There are many ways to take action against domestic violence. For ideas, contact the King County Coalition Against Domestic Violence at 206.568.5454.
