Be on the lookout for vandalism to sand bags along the Green River: Call it in
Published 4:04 pm Monday, December 6, 2010
Contact King County if you seen or hear about vandalism to the giant sandbags along the Green River levees.
People can report any damages to the sandbags to John Koon, a senior engineer at King County, which oversees the maintenance and repair of sandbags along the river in Kent, Auburn and Tukwila.
Crews placed the sandbags along the river last year to help protect against flooding because the Howard Hanson Dam cannot hold back as much water as normal after damages to the embankment next to the dam in 2009. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers expects to finish repairs to the dam by the end of 2012.
Koon can be reached at 206-890-2562 or john.koon@kingcounty.gov.
