Matthews Beach, in north Seattle, remains closed to swimming Monday due to high levels of bacteria in the water.

The problem turned up in routine water testing and the Lake Washington beach has been closed since Friday.

Volunteers will take another water sample Monday but the earliest the beach could re-open is Wednesday.
