Don’t swim or wade in the area while the advisory is in place.
Don’t swim or wade at Jack Hyde Beach in Tacoma. Tests of water we sampled June 16 show high levels of bacteria that increase your risk of gastrointestinal illness if you contact it.
We posted advisory signs and will continue to monitor bacteria levels there. When bacteria levels no longer show increased risks to public health, we will remove the signs.
