King County officials are warning people and pets to stay out of the water at Howell Park, Madrona Beach, and the stretch of Lake Washington shoreline between the two parks.
A sewage spill Tuesday morning is behind the warning, which also applies to the street-end parks at East Olive and East Pine streets.

Meanwhile, Gene Coulon, Matthews, Meydenbauer Bay, and Newcastle beaches along Lake Washington remain closed because of high bacteria levels in the water.
