E. coli counts remain high in Thornton Creek and many of its tributaries, especially in the South Fork of Thornton Creek and in the Littlebrook branch. In all cases when tested for, the results have identified at least some human waste, which raises significant public health concerns.
Seattle Public Utilities has been studying this issue for more than two years, and has taken some initial actions to address it. Thornton Creek Alliance is sponsoring a meeting with City staff and scientists to discuss what further actions should be taken based on the results so far. Come hear the study results and join the conversation about what still needs to be done.
