Weyerhaeuser King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way, Washington will not be opening until at least September 21, 2020.
The facility, which was originally built for the 1990 Goodwill Games, has since held USA Swimming Winter National Championships, Junior National Championships, NCAA Championships, and several other elite competitions. It has become the annual host of the Pac-12 Championships as one of the few indoor pools of substantial scale on the west coast, even though the University of Washington, the nearest Pac-12 school, doesn’t have a swimming & diving program.
The facility was originally set to have its natatorium skylights replaced in August; however, King County Parks bumped up the project to begin July 14th in light of the center already having been closed since March due to the coronavirus pandemic.
‘After careful evaluation of the mitigation required and resources needed to re-open the facility, King County Parks decided to keep the aquatic center closed at this time,’ per the official release.
Additionally, ‘funding for this project is made possible by the 2020-2025 King County Parks, Recreation, Trails, and Open Space Levy. Taking care of important but aging infrastructure, such as the skylights at WKCAC, was a key element of the levy, which was approved by King County voters in August 2019 by 70 percent.’
The aquatic center is scheduled to re-open on September 21st.
They should board this thing up until the riots stop.
You must be watching the wrong channels. There are no riots in Seattle or near KCAC.
Uhhhhh you’re kidding right?
Col comment didn’t age well
A Starbucks was literally on fire when he wrote that!
I retract, there was an official riot just last night in Seattle. It is still true there are no riots near KCAC, nor was there ever.
Still would be nice for the city to get the situation under control and until they do one can’t assume the riots will be confined to a specific area.
I guess everyone has their own definition of “near”
The shooting of the 14 & 16 year old was a clear execution by CHAZ / CHOP militia. . I listened to the father of the 21 year old also shot dead .Thank You Hannity or I would never have known about it . S H *T .
Col Trautman, if you are in Seattle then.could you please tell us how the homicide investigation is going .
‘ 2 kids & a Special Needs young man were executed but Col says it was NOT in the Weiherheuser King County Aquatic Centre ! ‘.
KCAC is 25 miles south of Seattle in the suburbs
CHAZ be moving in if it is a nice white place .
At first I thought this said Sept of 2021. That would have been drastic, although we may get there yet.
