Three children were dropped off at Davies Beach on Lake Stevens to swim and play Sunday, but the day ended in tragedy with one dead and two in critical condition.

A 13-year-old died and a 12-year-old and a 15-year-old were in critical condition Monday in Seattle hospitals, according to Peter Mongillo, spokesperson for Snohomish Regional Fire & Rescue.

What happened is not clear, he said. “All three went down and nobody was watching, so we don’t know,” he said.

The popular beach area where the children were swimming is part of a recreational area of the former Wyatt County Park that was recently transferred from county parks to Lake Stevens Parks and Recreation.

those poor kids - Lake Stevens is a beautiful lake surrounded by the breathtaking Cascade Mtns. These two days are the only days this year that everyone could get out and celebrate the sun and then tragedy. So Sad.
