Drinking water: PFAS testing

Public water systems serving Washington with at least one PFAS detection under UCMR5. The federal limit for PFOA and PFOS is 4 ng/L; EPA proposed in May 2026 to rescind the limits for the other compounds, which are shown for information.

Underground fuel tanks

EPA's UST Finder records 770 tank facilities in Washington: 438 tanks in service and 1,842 closed. 772 fuel releases are on record, of which 115 remain open. Open releases are cleanups that have not reached "no further action".

Radon

EPA maps Washington as Zone 2, moderate predicted indoor radon (2 to 4 pCi/L average). Radon and air quality are covered in depth on lung.com.

The record for one specific address

County figures blur what matters: distance. The Address Environmental Report runs these same federal datasets against one address and reports every site, tank, polluter and water result around it, with distances, in about a minute.
