I know it was old. I looked here before I went. I was not even sure if it would be seen just thought I would add to it. I was already to OC then saw the sign and did not want to push it and mess up a fun day.

We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Carry at the park is allowed. I have OCed there several times in the last year and a half with pretty much zero acknowledgment, including less than a month ago. Hope you had a good time.

Restrictions
For the safety of the animals and fellow zoo visitors, certain items may not be brought onto zoo grounds. We must
ask that balloons, piñatas, balls, frisbees and other flying objects not be part of your event. Clowns, mascots, costumes
and other “circus” type items are also prohibited. Please consult your Sales & Event Specialist before bringing items
and activities into the zoo.
In compliance with quarantine restrictions and park regulations pets, skateboards and firearms are not allowed
at Woodland Park Zoo.
I am not sure if the preemption law applies or not. Just what I found in about 20 seconds on Zoo's website.
I hope the preemption law does apply.

Park is owned by City of Seattle, receives 32% of its funding from the City of Seattle and King County, I would venture to say that it falls under preemption.

I read a thread where someone got an email from the zoo saying they follow state policy. Anybody have it? I OC'd there no problem. I didn't see the sign, but I also don't go out of my way to actively search for silly signs. After all I like the the song:
"Sign Sign everywhere a sign
Blocking out the scenery breaking my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign"

Interesting note: Check out the second paragaph. It talks about the zoo's Firearms Units.

The park history, the second paragraph is pretty interesting too.

Well, the zoo is staffed by Seattle parks department
The zoo is staffed by the Seattle parks department.
I just remembered that my ex's father worked for the Seattle parks department, and he was always telling about how messed up the zoo was. About how he tripped over a snake more than once because the light switches were across the room and one time when the lights came on he found a gator in the room with him.

No, the Zoo is staffed by private employees of the Zoological Society, not City employees. One of my co-workers has a second job with them and our legal types had to seek clarification on this exact matter to ensure he was not working for 2 government agencies at the same time.

That might be a bit uncomfortable, given the only place they could conceal one.

Went in today around 2pm from west entrance. Didn't notice one sign, didn't totally look at all the corners. Security on bicycles rolling by, security/attendant at gate. Asked for a hand stamp just in case I was asked at any point to leave/ go to my car so I could come back.
Really nothing to report. Not one person said anything from ferry to dim sum to kidd valley (kiddo wanted Chinese but never had dim sum style and was turned off immediately... probably by my order of chicken feet
) then from gate to exit..
Noticed one German family (do all of these people come in from out of town for fleet week/ seafair?? Had a bunch at my restaurant from out of town too) completely stop conversation as they got near. But not for long. The lion started roaring.
The woman hung out with the orangutan for almost a half hour and has a sudden interest in anthropology studies it seems.
Since we did the city pass deal, will have to update with Pacific Science Center, space needle, and aquarium..And argosy cruise if we so choose to. Have already carried at the EMP.

Just be careful about the sci center, I think we had determined that it is private.

Got clarification from the zoo.
Tough toenails, it's legal, they don't like it, but they admit it's legal.
Oh well, I guess they can waste their money to provide us with escorts while we visit.
So, what day works best for everyone here? I think that the zoo deserves a visit.

Just how many security guards do they have on staff to provide PERSONAL ESCORTS OF LAWABIDING OC'ing ZOO GOERS?
Seems to me that only 10-15 persons going in different directions at random times to various destinations within the zoo OC'ing would OVERWHELM them! Might be fun to have them ALL enter at the same time though!
Just saying!
