City of Des Moines, WA

Resident Priority:

Effective January 1, 2010, the City of Des Moines implemented a Resident Discount Policy offering residents discounted fees for recreation programs. Non-residents and city residents who choose not to provide proof of residency will be assessed the full fee for programs.

To qualify for the "R" Fee participants must provide proof of residency such as: Valid picture ID with a Des Moines address, Valid picture ID accompanied by a utility bill with their Des Moines Address. Sports Teams qualify for the "R" Fee when 51% of their players are Des Moines residents (proof of residency will be requested.)
