Water and Boating Safety Letter from King County

Welcome to summer 2025! As your children get ready for summer break, it’s important to remember that water activities come with risks.

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. The King County Department of Natural Resources and Parks, King County Sheriff’s Office, and Public Health – Seattle & King County recommend the safety tips included at the following links:
