Temps will rise into the 80s (some areas around 90) by Sunday. Fortunately we will see some cooling overnight. One of our main concerns is water safety. Waters across the region are still very cold & running fast. Cold water can quickly become dangerous! weather.gov/safety/coldwat…

[Thread] Thinking about heading to the water this weekend? Please take cold water safety seriously. Wearing a life jacket significantly increases chances of survival during an unexpected immersion into cold water.

"What if I told you Seattle had an Olympic-sized, heated, saltwater swimming pool with a view of the ocean? And that pool is owned and operated by Seattle Parks, so it's priced the same as Parks-owned facilities and has the same discount programs." southseattleemerald.org/voices/2025/06…
