Man Killed in Lake Washington Boating Accident

A man was killed in a boating accident on Lake Washington near Kirkland Thursday.

August Reyes, 56, of Kirkland, was boating in rough, windy waters with a friend when they were thrown from the boat just north of the Highway 520 floating bridge.

Reyes’ friend was able to swim to shore an hour and a half later but could not locate Reyes.

Reyes body was found around 20 feet offshore of Juanita Beach Park and pulled from the lake Friday afternoon.

The cause of death is being investigated.
