Kirkland's Juanita Beach closes after E. coli detected
A popular swimming area in Kirkland will be closed through the weekend after the water tested positive for high levels of E. coli.
Juanita Beach closed Wednesday afternoon, according to the city of Kirkland.
When crews tested the water Monday, they found 1,781 colony-forming units of bacteria per 1,000 mL of water, which King County Water and Land Services says is “high concern."
The city said crews noted there were a lot of waterfowl on the eastern shore, which may have caused the elevated E. coli levels.
King County staff will test the water on Thursday and again on Monday.
