Teen in critical condition after jumping into Lake Washington

VIDEO: Seattle Fire Department personnel rescued a 17-year-old boy who jumped off a dock near Mt. Baker Park into Lake Washington Tuesday afternoon. Around 3:43 p.m., medical teams from the Seattle Fire Department responded to the 2300 block of Lake Washington Boulevard in south Seattle on June 23 to reports of a swimmer who had jumped off a dock and not resurfaced.

Divers with the medical response team were able to find the boy and bring him to shore in less than two minutes, and ensured there was no one else who needed assistance. Paramedics transported the teen to Harborview Medical Center for further care, and as of about 8:50 p.m., he is in critical condition.

Tuesday’s temperatures have soared into the 90s in some parts of Puget Sound. Public agencies have encouraged residents to take extra precautions around local bodies of water, which are still very cold and can trigger full-body shock.
