WA: County lake park closed after 200 get ill after swimming there - norovirus confirmed.

July 16, 2014, 12:20 AM

This is in Kitsap County, west of Seattle across Puget Sound.

No problematic levels of common bacteria found yet - CDC is investigating. Vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach cramps are the symptoms that begin 4-24 hours after swimming. About 2500 people a day were visiting this park during unusually hot & dry weather.
