Pierce County issued a SEPA notice for a 3,000-square-foot Arco AM/PM gas station at 1700 Steele Ave in Sumner, with comments due July 24. The Sumner City project involves removing 490 cubic yards of petroleum-contaminated soil at 1700 Steele Ave. Pierce County also approved a shoreline access park in Lakewood, but that project is outside Puyallup. Sumner's location near Puyallup means the gas station and soil cleanup could affect local traffic and environmental conditions. The gas station will be built on a site previously used for a similar business.
