An 11-year-old girl is in serious condition after she was rescued from water in West Seattle.
Seattle Fire Department (SFD) crews were sent to reports of a person in the water in distress, SFD reported via X.
Firefighters responded to the 3400 block of Chelan Avenue Southwest around 12:30 a.m. Friday.
Crews on Rescue Boat 5 pulled an 11-year-old girl out of the water, offshore of Chelan Avenue Southwest.
The girl was then transported to additional units at Fire Station 5.
SFD stated the girl was transported to a hospital for further care and is in serious condition.
Last week, Mason County deputies rescued a woman and two children after their SUV plunged into an icy lake. All three were transported to a hospital, but their conditions have not been released.
