MUKILTEO — The fish can breathe easier now.

That old Mukilteo ferry ramp next to Ivar’s is gone.

It sat on 213 wooden pilings soaked in creosote, a toxic preservative.

“There is a mix of about 300 chemicals in that creosote,” said Diane Rhodes, a spokesperson for Washington State Ferries. “It continually leaches into the water. It’s bad for marine life.”

A gallon of creosote is in each foot of log, she said.

Earlier this week, a barge hauled away the 213 creosote soaked pilings, along with 15 concrete pilings and 47 steel pilings. The load included a “Speed Limit 15” sign.
