Everett smelter cleanup progress
Our cleanup work is more than halfway done
About 700 residential properties were potentially affected by smelter contamination in the upland area. We have now completed sampling on all the properties that agreed to be sampled (more than 550).
We have either completed cleanup or determined through sampling that no cleanup is needed for more than 400 of these properties. We also completed cleaning up American Legion Park in 2016, and Viola Oursler Park and Wiggums Hollow Park in 2019.
The next group that will go into construction is the 2024 cleanup group, which includes properties in the southeast area of the upland boundary.
