Due to a Mercer Island sewage overflow, the Enatai Beach Park swim area is closed until 3:30 p.m. on April 16. Chesterfield Beach Park, SE 40th Street Boat Launch, and Burrows Landing are also closed to swimming. Users of non-motorized watercraft should use caution and avoid the affected area.
There are many volunteering opportunities at Bellevue focused on the environment, from weekly restoration work parties to summer canoe trips on Lake Washington.
