Threat Summary

Gig Harbor residents: The Olympic View Sanitary Landfill cleanup site, 9.7 miles away, contains asbestos. Asbestos fibers are tiny and can be harmful if breathed in, causing serious lung issues over time. While less concerning in water or garden soil, avoid disturbing any materials that might release asbestos dust into the air. Children are especially vulnerable to breathing these fibers.
