In this June 15, 2018 photo, Cydney Gillis, who is one of at least 150 homeowners still awaiting remediaton from the hazardous contaminants left by the Everett smelter, poses in Everett, Wash. A soil sample taken from Gillis’ yard last year confirmed what she had long feared. High levels of arsenic pollute her property. The chemicals were left more than a century ago by the Everett smelter, whose smokestacks spewed arsenic and lead as the plant heated ore to separate its metals. (Lizz Giordano/The Herald via AP)
