Carnation
As required by State Environmental Policy Act, King County brought archeologists in during the treatment plant project to study the area and ensure the protection and preservation of culturally or historically significant resources.
The team unearthed prehistoric food remains and two multi-layer hearths that demonstrate a cultural connection to the ethnographic Snoqualmie people.
Information about the findings will be presented at the public presentation by Dr. Astrida R. Blukis Onat, an expert in Pacific Northwest cultural resources for more than 30 years.
The event is free, and all ages are welcome. For additional information, including arranging reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities, please call Jo Sullivan at 206-296-8361 or 711 TTY or e-mail jo.sullivan@kingcounty.gov.
