One of the last Artesian wells in Washington State is not too far from Seattle. You can go there 24/7 and fill up containers. There may be a wait, even late at night.
Directions: 2331 164th St. SW, Lynnwood Take I-5 exit 183 and go right on 164th 3-4/10 of a mile to the bottom of the hill and you will see cars on the north side. GPS: 47.850159, -122.265591.
"This is fresh flowing water right out of the ground. No treatment and that's what they want," said Arden Blackledge, General Manager of the Alderwood Water District, which monitors and tests the water monthly.
According to the Alderwood Water and Wastewater District:
"This well, known as Well No. 5, or the 164th Street Artesian Well, is in excess of 400 feet in depth and is cased to approximately 120 feet. The well flows at about 10 gallons per minute.
"The source of water at the well is an underground aquifer (a water-bearing layer of permeable rock, sand or gravel). The well taps the Intercity Aquifer at approximately 200 feet.
"Alderwood Water & Wastewater District maintains this flowing artesian well as a community source of water for those who prefer untreated water."
From a Yelp comment: "This is some of the best tasting water I have ever had. Makes FIJI WATER taste like sewage!"
