Where does it go? - The story of the pumpout

Published 2024-07-19
Listen, you may not want to know where the poop goes but we should talk about it. Disposal of marine and human waste has been a big conversation for all maritime communities for ages and Tacoma is no exception. So let's talk about the pumpout stations and open the lid on one of the most vital conversations of the region. This is a FREE virtual program brought to you by the Foss Waterway Seaport and presented by Pretty Gritty Tours.

    We've met at the seaport museum a year ago.. my grandpa was Mayor Big John. Family boat is adjacent to the seaport museum. We talk to the director and manager regularly as their security. I called 911 when one of their kayaks was stolen this morning.
  • A stinky topic for sure, but glad it is being dealt with!
