Lewis Street Boat Launch Bathroom

Sorry for the hijacking but this discussion reminds me of a true story. Early in my career, I was the assistant manager of a large state wildlife area in the Sacramento/San Joaquin Delta. We had an outhouse contract which maintained about 15 or so outhouses year around on our property for hunters, anglers and other members of the public to use. Normally, the large company (rumored to have ties to organized crime) in the Bay Area would get the contract. One year, they lost out to a small mom and pop outfit that used wooden outhouses (that they made themselves) instead of the molded plastic/fiberglass ones.

Within a month or so, a half dozen of them were utterly destroyed as in blown up with dynamite or some other explosive. We had game wardens and state police investigate and they never could figure out who did it. Ultimately, the mom and pop company had to bail on the contract because they were losing outhouses at a rate that was unsustainable. You guessed it, the big Bay Area company came to the rescue and the outhouse bombings stopped.

Had to stop there this morning and someone(s) destroyed the porta potty or bathroom. Absolutely disgusting and unusable!

Any idea who to call to complain? WDFW? Parks department?

I'll google both! WA has some of the worst cared for bathrooms. I've been all over Montana for years and never come across anything, nothing as bad. In WA, it's a different story. I realize we have more people, but seriously. It was probably kids thinking it would be funny or whatever. It's really just sad, considering the taxes we pay and the amount for licenses and doesn't seem like too much to ask. It may have just happened, but I doubt it.

Being from the Lewis Street area, I can bet the the blame is mostly on our homeless population roaming the brush around town and in the woodland parklands. Call the City Parks and Police for better control. Good luck!

Yeah I see a lot of homeless. It sad if they're doing the destruction. Regardless I'll make a few calls. Will it do anything, maybe not but I do know how to file a complaint!
 
A couple of years ago, we were pleased to find out that they had improved the parking lot, launch area and built a vault toilet at Blue Lake. Then the Bubbas struck. The first stunt was pulling donuts in the gravel to where the parking area now is rippled. Then they decided that the vault toilet was better used as a dumpster. Last time I looked in there there were seven or eight garbage bags full of shit. I’m not even gonna start telling you what the toilet looked like. So that’s why we can’t have nice stuff….
Then there’s the Sani-can at another of our favorite lakes. How is it people shit on the seat? It boggles the mind…

Tonight.... on Washington's Worst Shitters First Dates we journey to a Dante-esque fudge hut under the infamous Lewis Street Bridge.

Jonny: it was really a cold night, we lost the car keys, I just wanted to show her the Skykomish, show her my world
Kim: He was telling me about how to catch pink salmon, and then how to catch Steelhead, and then after that he started going on about Coho. An hour later, when we were walking back to the car, he couldn't find his keys. We went back to the river and looked around, but it started sleeting.

Robert stack voiceover: That same evening, Johnny and Kim were unaware of a frigid pool of arctic air making its way through Canada's Fraser river gap, spilling south down interstate 5, flooding the Skagit, Stillaguamish and Snohomish river valleys, pushing it's way east, Under High Bridge, up the Skykomish and towards Monroe, towards the Lewis street bridge. Towards where they stood. A wedge of nightmarish cold pushing under the relentless Pacific Northwest rain. Dull gray rain, that, when it fell through this sub-zero gauntlet, turned to ice and sleet


KIm: I was freezing. And it seemed like every minute it just got colder. There was no way we could get in, the Elantra might as well have been Fort Knox. Jonny says, we gotta go someplace warm. And no way were we walking back inna Monroe....
Jonny: The only place, I shit you not, was this like honeybucket under the Lewis street bridge.

(Reenactment shows honey bucket under Lewis Steet Bridge with 91 Hyundai Elantra parked off to the side

Kim: I mean, we were cold, it was like 20 degrees out, we didn't have jackets. It was sleeting.

(Cut to clearly badly animated sleet appears in re-enactment, it's falling hard on the roof of the ELantra, banging against the door of the Honey Bucket, falling on the couple who look wet and cold. Mascara is running down the female reenactors face. She looks conventionally awful, but kinda hot if you are into wet Goths.)

Jonny: She's from Soap Lake, and goddamn if I wasn't gonna show her a good time, treat her like the Siouxsie-Loving Queen she is.

(Cut to Kim smiling, she's got kind of brutal eyeliner/panda eyes and some serious foundation on, but sorta hot if you're into girls who rock knee-high 18-hole doc martins and full black widow dresses and who haven't yet committed to facial piercing. The pan shot still shows the Honey Bucket in the gloomiest recess of the under-bridge darkness)

Johnny: See we were gonna get some take out, i got a six-pack of Zimas and we were gonna watch Mrs Doubtfire back at Maw-Maw's place, but my luck started to run out....I mean I could see the DVD on the back seat of the car...supposedly Robyn Williams plays a dude and a Lady in that movie.
KIm: Johnny said it would be warmer in there, on account of the bacterial breakdown of the...
JOhnny: It's supposed to be comedy gold, but I still haven't seen it yet

Robert stack voiceover: Kim was NOT talking about the insides of Jonny's '91 Hyundai Elantra. His pride and joy, his 113 HP steed of Gold Bar, Stallion of Sultan. The Hyundai's doors were locked, now coated in a layer of frigid ice. And without the car keys, Jonny's Elantra was useless. They wouldn't be able to shelter from the storm..... But there was one place they could shelter....

(Deliberate slow focus on first the Hyundai and then the camera turns and continues to zoom in on the Honey Bucket)

Jonny: generally inside any Honeybucket, it's gonna be 10-20 degrees warmer, plus once two people are in a small space like that, warmer still....
Kim: He's smarter than he looks....

(focus on Jonny, who does not look particularly smart. Or handsome. Jonny smiles at the compliment. He wants for modern dentistry. And otherwise could be a sharp-chinned sorta-borderline-dysmorphic model for Rembrandt's lights-out blockbuster Senses series )

Kim that's what attracted me to him in the first place, I mean he had me at Mrs. Doubtfire....and he had an Elantra. Are you kiddin' me? Whoo-wee, it's like I won the lottery! No one in Soap Lake had an Elantra....back in '93, so..... that was a big deal. Of course we would go in there, I mean we hadn't even kissed yet...I didn't think nothing of it at the time...
Jonny: I kept thinking about how I had to return the Mrs Doubtfire DVD the next day, it never occurred to me there was gonna be no time to actually see it, that we might get stuck. I kept thinking about Maw Maw, how she really wanted to see it too, and how she would be waiting up, I mean I promised her she'd meet Kim, and she could watch Doubtfire with us....

Tangential to this thread, have you ever noticed the floor litter in USFS/BLM vault toilets? Beer cans, pop bottles, Oreo wrappers, chip bags, fast food bags and wrappers, M&M bags, pepperoni wrappers. I can't get my head around selecting a seat atop a giant concrete vat filled with 200 gallons of festering sewage as the ideal lunch spot. Maybe inhaling the gasses from a rotting pile of shit provides that piquant note that renders a Subway sandwich just right?

I mean…..REALLY?

Boot I was gonna ask you to describe what you meant by "hot wet goth" cuz i thought I knew what you meant and then you just went ahead and confirmed my suspicions.

We don't deserve you, even if we've earned you.
