The Washington state Supreme Court on Thursday unanimously ruled that a city ordinance requiring that guns be locked up and kept out of unauthorized hands is pre-empted by state law. FOX13

after the city approved an ordinance in July 2018 requiring residents to lock up their guns or else face fines.

In a footnote, the court noted that since they resolved the issue of the underlying case on preemption, they did not address arguments "about the intersection of this law and Initiative 1639." A previous effort by the city of Seattle to ban guns in parks was stopped by the courts under the same statute.
