Polar Bear Plungers

Kendahl and Alain Adjorlolo at Matthews Beach


Immersing yourself in ice water on January 1 is so popular that there are three local bodies of water where people gather to dunk themselves.

Hundreds of Edmonds residents gathered at Brackett's Landing and ran into the waters of Puget Sound.

Kendahl coming out of the water
"Exhilarating," she said.


And at Magnuson Park's Matthews Beach in northeast Seattle, equally large numbers of people ran into the waters of Lake Washington.

Alain went ankle deep
"Success" and "Far enough" he said


Among the latter were local residents Kendahl and Alain Adjorlolo, although their plunging styles were somewhat different.
