City_Sandhttps://kingcountylocalblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/fall-city_xerxes.jpgFall City_XerxesRandom fact: Did you know… Xerxes, the name of the company that builds these tanks, is a reference to Xerxes the Great, a Persian ruler who lived 518-465 BCE. He invaded Greece and failed. He returned home to Persia and dedicated himself to large infrastructure projects. He oversaw the completion of the Gate of All Nations, the Apadana and the Tachara at Persepolis, and continued the construction of the Palace of Darius at Susa. He also maintained the Royal Road built by his father. Clever people who came up with that name for these tanks. Now you know! https://kingcountylocalblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/fall-city_redtanks.jpgFall City_redtankshttps://kingcountylocalblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/fall-city_concrete.jpgFall City_Concretehttps://kingcountylocalblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/fall-city_baresite.jpgFall City_BareSitehttps://kingcountylocalblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/drainfield-.jpgFall City_Drainfield2025-05-21T15:42:53+00:00monthlyhttps://kingcountylocalblog.com/2023/09/30/from-mega-houses-to-homeless-shelters-horse-barns-to-rocket-factories-burn-bans-to-fire-damage-fire-marshal-chris-ricketts-retires-after-kaleidoscope-of-a-career/https://kingcountylocalblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/ricketts_1-1.jpgRicketts_1https://kingcountylocalblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/ricketts_4-e1746729005758.jpgricketts_4A 1980s-era picture of Chris Ricketts, our outgoing King County Fire Marshal, on (approximately) the 70th floor of the Columbia Tower in Seattle as it was under construction.
