An outing on Lake Washington turned deadly Wednesday evening when two people apparently drowned after jumping into the water from a small boat to cool off. A 34-year-old man and a 37-year-old woman, both from Seattle, were on the boat along with the man’s 18-year-old cousin when the three decided to take a quick swim before heading to shore. The man and the woman drowned.
