Photos of Ebey's Landing
Update! Ebey's Landing was cleaned up in two separate operations yielding 138 tons of creosoted materials. The first three photos show some of the materials removed from this area.
Some of these pilings were fifty feet long.
Plastic sheeting is put down at every clean-up site to protect the area from sawdust and further leaching.

Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve is a public beach on Whidbey Island.
At the parking lot, these are two large logs side-by-side almost invisible in the shrubbery. The parking lot was surrounded with them.
A square beam with frayed edges.
Further on, this huge piling.
Parents were sitting on these treated pilings while their kids built the fort in the background. I saw lots of forts that kids had built using some treated wood. One of them had about 130 pieces of driftwood, 26 were treated wood.
This was at one time a square treated beam. It looks like normal driftwood, but notice the steel sticking out of the other end and the round holes.
Construction debris, storm damage, washed out bridge?
