Barton Street Pump Station upgrade
King County upgraded the aging Barton Street Pump Station to accommodate West Seattle’s growing population and ensure its safe and reliable operation for the next 50 years. The pump station is an underground facility located next to the Fauntleroy ferry landing in West Seattle. The pump station pumps wastewater to the Murray Avenue Pump Station which then sends flows to the county’s regional treatment plant at West Point in Seattle.
Completed – Summer 2015

The pump station was first constructed in 1958. The following improvements were made:
- Replaced outdated electrical equipment, pumps, and associated equipment.
