Plans for Waterfront Sea Wall Under Way
Plans for a waterfront sea wall in Seattle proceed with engineering drawings. The project may use riprap or a permanent concrete wall, funded partly by railroads and property owners, aiming to extend from Smiths Cove to the Duwamish River. Construction could begin with the northern section to utilize dirt from nearby regrades, reducing costs. A rising sanitary motive drives the plan to seal the cove and curb rat infestation. Public health work continues with A A Braymer leading rat extermination efforts in west Seattle.
