Public Health — Seattle & King County cleared Juanita Beach for swimming on Sept. 3 after testing showed bacteria levels had fallen to acceptable levels, city staff said on the Sept. 4 This Week in Kirkland podcast.
Kate Ryan, a city presenter on the podcast, said testing indicated the water was “safe to swim again at Juanita Beach” and that King County crews would continue weekly testing through the remainder of the summer season to ensure safety for people and pets.
Why it matters: Ongoing water-quality testing helps users know when recreational swim areas are safe; officials asked residents to consult the city and county websites for current advisories.
Organizers and staff asked residents to check kirklandwa.gov and King County updates before visiting the beach, since testing and conditions can change between checks.
This article reports the clearance and the city’s announcement; no new water‑quality data beyond the county’s clearance statement was provided in the podcast.
