We lifted our Water Advisory for Thea Foss Waterway today. We previously recommended that people not swim or wade for 48 hours after it rains. During the summer season, bacteria are less likely to be washed into the waterway after it rains. Still, it’s best to remain cautious.

We issued a Marine Beach Warning Advisory today at Tacoma’s Jack Hyde Beach. Tests of water we sampled June 16 show high levels of bacteria that increase your risk of gastrointestinal illness if you contact it. Don’t swim or wade in the area while the advisory is in place.
