Asbestos-Contaminated Building Demolished in Yakima, WA

In March 2009, the A Street Building in Yakima, WA was demolished. The 100 year old building, which was full of asbestos, was torn down to make way for a planned park.

The building had been the subject of considerable debate by the community and historical preservationists who wanted to save the building. The Yakima County Commissioners had determined the costs to remove asbestos and bring the building into code would have cost millions of dollars.

Exposure to asbestos is known to cause serious diseases such as mesothelioma, asbestos-related lung cancer and asbestosis.
