Drinking water: PFAS testing

No public water system serving Washington reported a PFAS detection in the UCMR5 national testing round. Systems serving under 3,300 people were only sampled in part, so absence from this table is not proof of absence in the water.

Underground fuel tanks

EPA's UST Finder records 600 tank facilities in Washington: 301 tanks in service and 1,449 closed. 388 fuel releases are on record, of which 37 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.
