People flock to beaches, mountain hiking trails during weekend heat wave

Saturday afternoon, hundreds were seen splashing and floating along the Angle Lake shoreline. Puget Sound Fire rescue teams rushed to the popular SeaTac park around 11:30 a.m. in response to a possible drowning. 911 callers reported a person struggling in the water, but when firefighters arrived they found the supposed drowning victim near the dock. The individual was okay, but seemed to have a close call.

Mt. Rainier National Park is expecting a surge of visitors this Mother’s Day weekend. Ranger Terry Wildy wants eager travelers to manage their expectations — it’s still early season. Unless you’ve got snowshoes, Wildy suggests the trails in the Longmire area not far from the park entrance in Ashford. King County’s Trailhead Direct shuttle service can transport you to snow-free trails in the North Bend area. Instead of driving out to the trailhead yourself, you can hop aboard a Trailhead Direct bus in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood. That bus will take you to and from three trailheads: Mt. Si, Little Si and Teneriffe Falls. ORCA card carrying hikers 19 and older can take advantage of the shuttle for $2.75.
