← Back to tracker Ban status
Equal-application hours-of-operation and decibel-based noise restriction, not a fuel-source ban. Clyde Hill Municipal Code Chapter 8.10 prohibits leaf blower operation outside 7am–6pm weekdays (holiday exemption), 10am–4pm Saturdays/Sundays/holidays, with a 45 dBA receiving-property ceiling that exempts equipment from hour restrictions if met. Covers electric, gas, and alternative-fuel blowers in the definition.

Ultra-wealthy Eastside village (pop ~3,300). A gas-GLB-specific ban proposal has been before council in 2024–2025; no ordinance enacted. Structurally similar to Wallingford CT and Decatur GA — the existing rule is sound-level and hours, not fuel source.
