South Park, Seattle, Washington

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

South Park is a neighborhood in the city of Seattle, in the US state of Washington. Incorporated in 1902 as the Town of South Park, it was annexed by Seattle on May 3, 1907.

The neighborhood is located just south of Georgetown across the Duwamish River, and just north of the city of Tukwila. Surrounded by Seattle's industrial area, the soil and air of this town have been polluted; heavy metals have contaminated the top soil and the nearby Duwamish river has been known for unhealthy levels of toxic chemicals.^[1] The property values are lower than elsewhere in Seattle, though some see growth potential in the area. ^[2]Its main thoroughfares are West Marginal Way S. (northwest- and southeast-bound) and S. Cloverdale Street (east- and westbound).
