My friends keep begging me to go swimming at this location. I’ve been told by locals that it’s not a wise decision. I was wondering how I can tell? I don’t think it’s about bacteria, but more there are a ton of boats, planes and former industrial waste in the area. Can I tell from these tests?

It is Lake Union A522 if it doesn’t link properly. Also, click all of the boxes to see the data and put in May through now to check the test.

FYI, I’ve seen people swimming there, they seem like tourists though.

    Lakes and rivers in Washington state are polluted AF. It’s desperately sad.

    Too many rich people building next to lakes and too many instances of sewage leaks and growth of coliform from feces.

    Kind of wish lakes were public property and we didn’t allow people to swallow up and poison the water by building so close because they want “lakefront property.” Lakefronts should be public, imho.
