Reddish water along West Seattle shores: The noctiluca is back

Thanks to photographer J.P. Peck of QuickShows.com for the overview looking toward Lowman Beach – we noticed this a little while ago too – the noctiluca is back. In case you missed our earlier coverage (here’s a story from last month), and/or previous years’ stories, it’s NOT “red tide,” but rather nontoxic microorganisms. The state Department of Ecology talks about it here.

    I sounded so smart today when my son asked me what that red stuff was in the water off Lowman Beach and Lincoln Park (Thanks to the WBS story from the last bloom!)

Sorry, comment time is over.
