Kitsap Public Health District lifted a no-contact advisory for Island Lake County Park swimming beach on June 15, following high E. coli levels.

New advisories are in effect for Keyport and a portion of Liberty Bay due to a sewage spill, with no-contact warnings through June 25 and shellfish closures until July 9. The district also expanded a shellfish closure in Hood Canal south of the Hood Canal bridge due to high paralytic shellfish poison (PSP) levels.

The health district reminds the public to avoid contact with bats to prevent rabies exposure, noting bats are important to the ecosystem but can carry the virus. They also note that colorful patches in Puget Sound are caused by algae or plankton blooms during warm months.
