SEATTLE — The Seattle Fire Department (SFD) says crews responded to a water rescue in the Mount Baker neighborhood along Lake Washington on Tuesday afternoon.
At around 3:50 p.m., a 17-year-old boy was initially reported missing after jumping off a dock near Lake Washington Boulevard South and Lake Park Drive South.
Rescue swimmers found the boy, brought him to shore, and paramedics at the scene took over medical treatment.
The boy was in the water for under ten minutes before rescuers got to him, Seattle Fire Department Public Information Officer Kaila Lafferty told KIRO 7.
He was brought to Harborview Medical Center in critical condition.
