Dear Pool Supporters: Thank you for emailing the
Seattle City Council last October during the Mayor’s budget
hearings. Thanks to you, the Council mandated that the Parks
Department perform a preliminary pool feasibility study. Also,
thanks to you, aquatics supporters made an outstanding showing
during the Parks Strategic Plan public forums. Now it’s time to remind both Parks and the
Seattle City Council of your support for
pools. Both the final Parks Strategic Plan and
the Pro-Parks Levy proposal are being hammered out right now. On
top of this, the Council will soon review the prelim pool study.
Your participation really does make a difference. Read on for
instructions on how YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR AQUATICS,
AGAIN!

Update on the Husky Pool: While planning for a
pool on campus is at a standstill pending selection of a new
Athletic Director, the Sand Point idea continues to inch
along. The City of Seattle has a website where people can
give input about the Seattle Parks Strategic Plan that they have
been working on for the past few months. In the
community input sections, there is a consistent thread about the
need for more swimming pools, particularly outdoor pools, to meet
the aquatics needs of Seattle. This is an
excellent opportunity for
people to advocate for a 50 meter facility at Magnuson Park (Sand
Point). Please take the time to give them your
thoughts on a 50 meter facility at Magnuson Park. http://www.seattle.gov/parks/Publications/ParksActionPlan.htm
