Everyone has “stuff” to take care of. You might have a house, a car – or an iPhone. With a smartphone, you have to charge the battery, restart it every once in a while, download apps – and sometimes simply find it (am I right?)… Taking care of our stuff gets more complex the more we have and the bigger those things are. It gets harder to keep track of it – and cost more to fix or replace. We’ve got a lot of stuff that’s big and complex. How do we take care of it all? Read about how we help new employees learn – and they help take care of everyone’s sewer system. Blog link in our profile.

The Brightwater Education & Community Center is just north of Woodinville and features meeting areas for community groups, conferences, weddings and other special events. We have a large space that fits up to 260 people, which can also be made into smaller rooms. There are rentable patios and lawn areas for outdoor events – as well as a kitchen, tables, chairs and audio visual equipment. Just Google “Brightwater Education Center.”

The sun is shining in #downtownseattle. About half of our 700 employees enjoy working in #pioneersquare.

Caroline Brumbaugh was one of our first women operators in the 1970s. She’s pictured here inside one of our West Point Treatment Plant digester tanks after it had just been cleaned out. Digesters are the tanks that treat the solids that we separate from sewer water when we clean it. Like giant stomachs, the digesters heat the solids and microorganisms break down the bio material. The digesters have to be cleaned out regularly to remove debris and grit that comes in with the sewer water. To give you an idea of the huge scale of these tanks, check out the next picture from the same era. #throwbackthursday #tbt #womenintrades

A few photos by @fotosbykms beautifully capture the wildlife at our Brightwater Education & Community Center. Just north of Woodinville, you can take a stroll on 3 miles of walking trails through 70 acres of restored wetlands and native plants. Open each day from dawn until dusk.
