    Tub Lake / Sunset Park site hazard assessment report

    The Tub Lake/Sunset Park site in SeaTac, located one mile north of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, was contaminated by decades of illegal dumping of waste oil and bilge oil from ships between 1941 and 1945, as well as leaking underground storage tanks at a King County road maintenance facility. Environmental sampling conducted in 1990 detected petroleum hydrocarbons, benzene, and other chemicals exceeding cleanup standards in soil, sediment, and water, with contamination estimated to cover 2-3 acres up to 12 feet deep beneath nearby playing fields. The Port of Seattle, which owns the southern wetlands portion of the site including Tub Lake, fenced the area in the 1970s after demolishing residences in the airport's landing pathway, though public access and ongoing contamination remained concerns at the time of the assessment.
