On August 3, 2022, Seattle Public Utilities lifted the closure at Cormorant Cove beach in King County. Water sample results show there is no longer a public health risk. The park is now open for water contact recreation.
Local health jurisdictions or Seattle Public Utilities issue water-contact advisories or closures at swimming beaches. The BEACH Program communicates the risk to the public.
Top swimming tips
It is always a good idea to shower after swimming and to wash your hands before eating if you’ve been in contact with the water or sand. Other swimming tips are on our website.
