Welcome to summer 2025! As your children get ready for summer break, it’s important to remember that water activities come with risks. Since 2018, King County has seen a rise in preventable drowning fatalities, with preliminary data showing 25 deaths in 2024. Many of these tragedies could have been avoided with proper supervision and life jacket use. This summer, let's make water safety a priority to protect our kids.
