Beach closures: Matthews Beach and Discovery Park’s North and South Beaches are currently closed

The beach at Matthews Beach Park (5100 NE 93rd St.) is currently closed for wading/swimming after water quality monitoring results showed high bacteria levels. King County will be retesting the water and the beach will be closed through at least the weekend. More information and updates available here: https://green2.kingcounty.gov/swimbeach/
