SEATTLE, Wash. — Seattle Parks is warning people and their pets to stay out of the water at Pritchard Beach.
The department says it has closed the beach along Lake Washington because of a sewage overflow.
It’s expected to reopen on April 8.
There are closure signs posted, warning people about what’s happening.
This is the second sewage incident in a week.
On March 27, the department warned that people should stay out of the water at Magnuson Park, after a spill at the boat launch.
Sewage contains germs like bacteria and viruses, as well as parasites that can cause stomach and intestinal or liver illness.
