Paddle Boarding Accident Claims Life of Woman in Snoqualmie River

The King County Sheriff’s Office (KCSO) Marine Unit in Washington State on July 13, 2023, recovered the body of a woman who drowned following a log jam in Fall City, according to KOMO News [2.].

The woman was removed from Snoqualmie River around 3:18 p.m. by Eastside Fire & Rescue (EFR) then attempted CPR, but she died from her injuries shortly after, according to officials.

A preliminary investigation revealed that the paddle boarder was likely a “woman in her 50s.” The investigation also revealed that she was likely paddle boarding with family members through a popular section of Snoqualmie River when she was caught on a snag in the water with the lanyard connecting to her board.
