Perhaps wait another week before swimming

It's been a week now since the rain storms of early December. I just saw this article in the PI recently that talks about something that seemingly happens every big storm each year - raw sewage was sent directly into Lake Washington, including right near our very own Seward Park. Check it out.

This made me curious, and so I tracked down a map which shows all of the combined sewer overflow locations in our neighborhood - it turns out there are a few along our stretch of Lake Washington.

Perhaps wait another week for all that sewage to get eaten by the algae before going for that Christmas swim...
