Sometimes beaches close because of sharks. Other times, it's because of poop.
Gross.
More on the "bacteria" from KIRO 7 in Seattle:
High bacteria detections were found at Madison Park Beach, Gene Coulon Beach, and Seward Park/Andrews Bay Beach, Public Health — Seattle and King County announced.
Public Health collected three water samples in separate parts of each beach on May 11, which recorded high bacteria levels at each beach.
'We test the water for bacteria, which tells us whether there is poop in the water from people, pets, or wildlife. Poop can carry germs that can make people sick from swimming or playing in the water,' the department stated.
Always refreshing to have a public official using the very scientific term "poop."
'We use the bacteria test results to predict the chance that people will get sick from germs that might be in the water. There are many different types of germs that can come from poop (bacteria, viruses, parasites, etc.), and it is not possible to test for each one,' Public Health wrote. 'Instead, we test for one type of bacteria that is easy to measure and is commonly used to predict the risk of getting sick from swimming.'
Upon further investigation into how things are going up there in Seattle, no one should be surprised to find that homeless people are leaving urine and feces everywhere.
100 milk jugs. Of urine.
Who says years of implementing Democratic policies don't make a difference?
