How were the builders of the (Lora Lake) apartments able to get a building permit to build living spaces in the first place IF the ground is so contaminated?

Did it not come up in the "conditional use permit" process? Seems there was a cover-up somewhere along the way.

Why is the Port of Seattle being held responsible for the "clean-up" just because they drew the short straw and bought the property---federal funds only go so far.

IF the apartments hadn't been built there maybe Burien would be doing the "clean-up" for their own projects. And then again maybe it would have slid on for years.
