Bow Lake Recycling and Transfer Station
Tukwila, Washington
The Bow Lake Recycling and Transfer Station is the busiest transfer station in King County. Currently under construction on the I-5 Corridor just south of South Center, this 78,000 SF facility will provide a more efficient recycling and garbage handling center and is being completed while the existing transfer station remains in full operation, 24 hours/day. Once the new station is complete (summer 2012), Lydig will demolish the existing facility and build a new scale facility in that location with an expected completion date of December 2013. The building structure is concrete and structural steel spanning 230’ across. This project is targeting LEED Gold certification and will include translucent wall panels and skylights to bring in large amounts of natural light.
