It's the substance that killed the Greek philosopher Socrates and, in 2010, a Tacoma woman. Now a patch of poison hemlock will force the temporary closure of a Lakewood dog park in order to eradicate it. The city of Lakewood announced Wednesday that it will close the Fort Steilacoom dog park May 17-18 in order to remove the noxious weed. Commentators on the city's Facebook post were not happy with the week long delay between the announcement and the park closure. Some said they had complained about the poisonous weed a year ago.
