ingress

"These are all gaps where water can ingress," Robin adds.

"This incident is not related to proposed works to address current isolated pockets of water ingress which has recently been reported to the council."

The most egregious example will likely remain the landlocked Sammamish Plateau that should have been focused outward toward the urban centers of Issaquah and Redmond but is now a jurisdiction forever caught between those cities with invisible boundaries, no control over ingress and egress, and an inward vision that will only become more problematic over time.

It has a lifespan of about 30 years and concerns have mounted about the impact of water ingress on its safety.

Such incidents will cause “ingress/egress issues for some communities” and potentially gum up or dam rivers with debris.
