Public Health Seattle & King County has issued a closure at Alki Beach Park in King County. This closure is due to a sewer overflow at Bonair Drive SW. The public is advised to avoid contact with the water in the affected area until further notice.

Contact with fecal-contaminated waters can result in gastroenteritis, skin rashes, upper respiratory infections, and other illnesses. Children and the elderly may be more vulnerable to waterborne illnesses.
