Sultan
Sultan is a small city — about 3 square miles — with its own treatment plant and about 16 miles of sewer piping, mostly serving the east side of the Sultan River. Most of the Sultan mailing area is unincorporated county in the Skykomish valley, and that is where the septic homes are.
We serve the unincorporated Sultan area: the Skykomish valley along US-2 east and west of town beyond the Urban Growth Area, Sultan Basin Road, and the rural roads north and south of the highway. We do not target the in-city east-of-river core, which is sewered. The split is the city / Urban Growth Area boundary, and the west-of-river in-city area's connection status is not separately documented — verify per parcel.
