 To do their part to protect our firefighters and our communities this summer, please do not start a fire outside and stay alert when you are outdoors. It's 837. A rescue operation has become a recovery effort after a struggling swimmer disappeared off of Ballard's Pointe-Chaux-Chaux Beach yesterday. New numbers out of King County show in 2023, 30 preventable drowning deaths and 70% involved drugs or alcohol.
