The City of Everett in Snohomish County removed the no contact advisory signs at Howarth Park and South Terminal Park beaches today February 17, 2014. The previous swimming closure was posted on February 16, 2014. Contact with fecal contaminated waters can result in gastroenteritis, skin rashes, upper respiratory infections, and other illnesses. Children and the elderly may be more vulnerable to waterborne illnesses.
