💧 Water Safety Reminder 💧

As the weather warms up, we’re seeing more people heading out to enjoy rivers, waterfalls, and alpine lakes. While the air may be warm, the water is often still very cold and can be much more dangerous than it appears.

A few simple reminders before your next adventure:
🌊 Stay back from riverbanks, waterfall edges, and slippery rocks.
❄️ Rivers and alpine lakes stay cold year-round and can quickly lead to cold water shock if you fall in.
🏊 Wear a life jacket when you’re on or near the water. Even strong swimmers can get into trouble in cold, moving water.
🐕 Keep pets on a leash around rivers and waterfalls. Many incidents start when a dog gets into trouble near the water.
🚫 Avoid climbing on logs near rivers. Logs can shift unexpectedly and often have powerful currents moving underneath or around them.
👥 Travel with a partner when possible and let someone know where you’re going and when you plan to return.

We respond to water-related incidents every year, and many of them start with a simple slip, trip, or unexpected fall. Take a few extra precautions so your day outdoors ends with good memories.

Stay safe and enjoy the outdoors.

Curious if SAR is right for you? Our monthly information sessions are a great way to get your questions answered! Join us for our next info session!

Friday, June 5
7:00 PM
Taylor’s Landing: 5506 Old Machias Road, Snohomish, WA 98290

You will have the opportunity to meet current SAR members, learn about our organization, search and rescue, available training, participation requirements, and more!

In addition, attendees will get to see examples of what gear we require so you can think about what you already may have at home versus what you may still need to acquire upon joining the organization.

Join us! We look forward to meeting you and answering your questions.
