The Northern State Multi Service Center cleanup site is in Sedro-Woolley, WA. Decades of hospital operations and maintenance from the former Northern State Hospital contributed to contaminated soil, groundwater, and soil vapor on the property. The contaminants are above WA State cleanup levels established to protect human health and the environment.


We invite you to review and comment on the following documents for the cleanup:


  • Interim action work plan: a document outlining the scope of work and schedule for the interim action (early partial cleanup).




The public may request a meeting about the documents. Ecology will consider requests and schedule a meeting when appropriate. To make a request, contact Kristen Forkeutis before July 16, 2026, at Kristen.Forkeutis@ecy.wa.gov or 425-240-4353.
