What drying runs into in Burien
Serving Burien and the surrounding area, including Hurstwood, Highline, Sunnydale, Inglesea, Seahurst, Mount View, Five Corners, Blakely Manor.
Local housing stock
Only 19.9 percent of Burien's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1966 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1966 with four in five houses older, the perimeter drainage was taken to a pit of rock buried in the yard rather than to an outfall, which works while the surrounding ground can take what is put into it.
Climate & seasonal risk
November brings 6.31 of the 39.34 inches Burien sees in a normal year, and August averages 67.4 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at SEATTLE TACOMA INTL AP, 2.6 miles away. November is the wettest month at over six inches of a thirty-nine inch year and no month averages a freeze, so the wet season runs from autumn to spring; a pit relying on the ground around it to absorb has no capacity at all through those months.
How water losses tend to end in Burien
- Drainage discharging to a buried pit rather than to an outfall, so it depends on the ground taking water
- A wet season with no break, so the surrounding ground is saturated for months and the pit cannot empty
- A system with nothing visible, so there is no outfall to check and no way to tell it has stopped working
