Hi, these are the weekly #washingtonstate #kingcounty (that is, #seattle and environs) #COVID #COVID19 #wastewater toots.

A quick reminder that this King County respiratory disease data comes from Washington State, not the federal government.

The West Point (WSPT) sewage treatment plant's 7 day running average of its detected Sars-CoV-2 levels has come up somewhat from the nice low numbers we've been seeing lately. The last calculation was made on 3/17.

WSPT is one of three King County(-ish) sewersheds in this dataset. You can find overviews, individual sewershed results, and a breakdown of variants for the state wastewater surveillance program, along with other metrics like case counts and hospitalizations for Covid-19 and other respiratory illnesses, at https://doh.wa.gov/data-and-statistical-reports/diseases-and-chronic-conditions/communicable-disease-surveillance-data/respiratory-illness-data-dashboard#WasteWater. If you go to the page and click "learn more" in the statewide view tab, you can find out lots of details about how these data are calculated and how to interpret them. The dashboard gets updated every Wednesday (generally). The Department of Health is here on the fediweb, at @WADeptHealth

The West Point (WSPT) sewage treatment plant's 7 day running average of its detected Sars-CoV-2 levels is low. The last calculation was made on 3/10. Note: the wastewater numbers for the three King County sites didn't get updated last week, but it looks like they have been backfilled now.

Hello, The National Weather Service has issued a FLOOD WATCH for portions of northwest Washington, including all of King County, that will be in effect Wednesday afternoon through Friday afternoon. Flooding caused by excessive rainfall and heavy snow levels/snowmelt runoff may be possible, resulting in the flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Residents of flood-prone areas, or who transit these areas, should monitor forecasts, prepare for further Flood Warnings, and prepare to take action should flooding develop.

Thank you, Kevin Lowery

Hi, these are usually the weekly #washingtonstate #kingcounty (that is, #seattle and environs) #COVID #COVID19 #wastewater toots. But not today: the data for the wastewater section of the state's respiratory illness dashboard didn't get updated today. So no poop graph screencapping tonight, sorry.

Relatedly, when I went to the site it loaded up a user survey. I'm pretty allergic to those things, but in this case I took the time to let the Department of Health how much I appreciate their public communications work, like the dashboard. I know the state budget is tight and they're trying hard to pick up the slack from the epic federal government clusterfuck, so it's good to show state-level public health folks some love. If you value the work they do, you might want to hop over there and fill out the user survey as well.
