Matthew Martin of the King County Sheriff's Office Marine Rescue Unit said he is predicting extra zeal among boaters, kayakers, and paddle boarders out there.
"With the weather, people have been delayed. So they're really chomping at the bit to get back out there," Martin said.
Late snow this spring has contributed to cold water temperatures, which last week, was recorded in the 50s. Even if weather conditions are warm, the water temperatures may still be cold and dangerous, should someone fall in unexpectedly.
