Fecal Matters: Lowman Beach Reopened in West Seattle

BEACH Program Update

Seattle, WA - Lowman Beach in West Seattle is open for water recreation. The Seattle-King County Public Health District removed the closure signs February 22, 2013, after follow-up water quality sampling indicated low bacteria levels. Beach closure signs were previously posted on February 20, 2013 due to a nearby sewage pump station failure.
