ISSAQUAH, Wash. — Two people were taken to the hospital Saturday night after being pulled from the water at Lake Sammamish State Park.

The two people were on watercraft before going in the water, according to King County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Mike Ellis.

Onlookers at the beach pulled one person out of the water, and one of those people started CPR, Ellis said. King County patrol officers pulled the second person and also started CPR.

Medics took the two people to Overlake Medical Center in Bellevue.

This is the third water-related incident law enforcement responded to this weekend.

In Renton, a 43-year-old man drowned Saturday afternoon after getting in the water while fleeing police at Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park.

At Lake Tapps, a 55-year-old man died Saturday afternoon after being administered CPR. The Pierce County Sheriff’s Office is still investigating what led up to his death.
