Since major minus tides return to our beaches starting tomorrow (here’s the chart), that means more people on the shore, and additional importance for this heads-up just sent by Ted:
A disturbing find today – playing with 3 of my kids on the beach and found a syringe washed up with the seaweed. Picked it up and put near the garbage. Thought that was the end of it until I found another in with the driftwood about 300 feet away !! That’s 2 within 15 minutes – wonder what else is down there? I left both of them near the dumpster near one of the covered picnic areas on the waterfront.
He asked for advice on who to report it to – we suggested the Parks Department, for starters. (We also have a followup out to him, asking exactly where on the LP beach.) As for the question of what you should do if you find one – here’s some advice on the King County Public Health website – note that it is against the law to place them in a regular trash or recycling container.
