King County warns against going into local rivers after 3 drownings in less than a week
The King County Sheriff's Office is urging people not to go in the river this Memorial Day weekend after three drownings in just five days.
Two of the latest drownings happened on the Green River in south King County.
On Monday a man, 24, was jumping off rocks into the river with a coworker. He found a tire swing and decided to jump from that. He ended up going out too far in the river before being swept away.
Just two days before that, a woman, 20, was hiking with friends near the Green River Gorge. She slipped and fell into the water. A friend jumped in to try and save her, but could not get to her in time.
