Rainier Valley wet weather storage

Completed Fall 2018

King County built this project to keep sewage and stormwater out of the Duwamish River. We installed a new sewer pipe near the intersection of Rainier Avenue South and South Bayview Street to send sewage and stormwater from a pipe that gets full during storms to another pipe that has more room.

We also built a storage tank at the intersection of South Hanford Street and South 27th Avenue. This tank can store extra sewage and stormwater that may otherwise be released into the Duwamish River.
