Located next to Discovery Park in Seattle, West Point Treatment Plant (West Point) began operating in 1966. West Point cleans more wastewater each day than any other plant in Washington. Approximately 90 million gallons of wastewater per day are treated at the facility during the dry months. Seattle’s combined stormwater/wastewater sewer system also flows into West Point. West Point serves homes and businesses in Seattle, Shoreline, north Lake Washington, north King County, and parts of south Snohomish County.
