West Duwamish Wet Weather Storage project

Project banner

King County is getting ready to build a 1.25-million-gallon underground storage tank near the intersection of Southwest Michigan Street and Second Avenue Southwest. This storage tank and supporting infrastructure underneath West Marginal Way Southwest will reduce combined sewer overflows from the South Park drainage basin into the Duwamish River. We anticipate the start of construction in Spring 2025.

Find the King County team at community events this August to learn more about the project and what you can expect during construction.
