River Valley Below, Hills Above
Puyallup is two places in one. Down in the river valley, older homes sit on flat ground close to the Puyallup River, with crawlspaces that take on groundwater in a wet winter and flood risk when the river runs high. Up on the hills, newer neighborhoods bring two-story houses with upstairs bathrooms and laundry rooms, and some lower levels cut into slopes. The town is also home to the Washington State Fair. Wherever the house sits, the work is the same: stop the water, remove it, dry it with readings.
Puyallup Water Notes
- The ground: the Puyallup River valley, with hillside neighborhoods rising above it
- The houses: older valley homes, many on crawlspaces; newer two-story homes on the hills
- The water risk: river and groundwater on the valley floor; upstairs leaks and lower levels on the hills
