Community Tour of Georgetown Wet Weather Treatment Station

This new state-of-the art facility treats up to 70 million gallons of combined rainwater and wastewater during heavy winter rain events. Join us for a community tour and learn how this facility is improving water quality of the Duwamish River. We will walk through the treatment process and tour the extensive green stormwater features onsite. Attendees will leave with a deeper knowledge of how they can protect our waterways.

Tour involves walking up and down 2-3 flights of stairs. Closed toed shoes and long pants are required. The majority of the tour is outside.

Participants must be at least 9 years old.

We DO NOT have on-site parking. We encourage attendees to take public transportation; if you do drive, please plan to park off site.

Parking: Parking in the industrial part of town where the facility is located can be limited. We recommend allowing ample time to find street parking and arrive early to ensure you have enough time.
