On July 20, 2022, the Snohomish Health District lifted the advisory at the north end of Mukilteo Lighthouse Park in Snohomish County. The advisory had been in effect since June 15. New water sample results show there is no longer a public health risk from water-borne bacteria. The park is now open for water-contact recreation.
Local health jurisdictions 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.
Help your beach to prevent future advisories and closures. Follow our Fecal Matters blog posts or join our email notification list for beach bacteria news and information. We are also on on Twitter and Facebook.
