Houghton Beach remains closed for high bacteria levels

KIRKLAND, Wash. — Stay out of the water: that’s the message from public health officials in Kirkland.

Houghton Beach remains closed this week because of high bacteria levels in the water.

It’s been closed since September 17.

Water quality staff from King County Water and Land Resources will return to the beach next week to collect new samples.

Until then, the swimming area will be closed and there will be no lifeguards.
