Statement of Signifigance
The site does not seem to be connected to any significant events or individuals. More than likely it is a single dumping even
from an individual, local household, occurring before Boeing’s development of the area after 1941. Therefore, no
significant cultural resource was identified during excavations of the project area.
Integrity
Site possibly disturbed by previous Boeing-related construction activity.
