Most areas within quite a few miles of a military base are contaminated, as well as anywhere with a fire department that used them. They had a well pop in Issaquah a few years back, *determined to be from Eastside Fire. I know there’s multiple wells in Tacoma thatve popped for it as well. Not to be so pessimistic but they’re called forever chemicals for a reason, unless you’ve discovered some way to clean them up they’re here to stay.
