Asbestos in Washington
For decades, Washington buildings and products have used asbestos. Because of this, many Washington residents have been exposed to asbestos and are at risk for contracting mesothelioma cancer.
The symptoms of mesothelioma often take decades to appear, so Washington workers are at risk even if they were exposed to asbestos decades ago. Examples of Washington asbestos exposure sites include:
- Washington factories
- Powerplants in Washington
- Refineries or Chemical Plants in Washington
Below is a list of 412 known sites of asbestos exposure in Washington. Asbestos exposure is known to have occurred in at least 90 Washington cities, though the number is likely even higher.
The Washington city with the most asbestos exposure sites was Seattle, WA, with 155 known sites contaminated by asbestos.
If you know of another Washington asbestos site, please contact us so that we can update our records.
