King County Wastewater Treatment Division 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 aim to reduce combined sewer overflows from the South Park drainage basin into the Duwamish River.
Construction is scheduled to begin in spring 2025. In the meantime, here are upcoming events this fall for you to connect with us and learn about clean water careers—and even take home a free tree!
Two opportunities to take home free trees this fall!
We are teaming up with the Dirt Corps, Duwamish Valley Youth Corps, and Highland Park Improvement Club to host our third annual tree giveaway to support community goals around neighborhood greening. Join us at one of our upcoming events in Highland Park and South Park to pick up a free native tree and learn about King County’s efforts to reduce pollution into the Duwamish River. Trees are available for community members and organizations based in South Park and Highland Park, on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last. No registration is required.
