The Tukwila Pool is over fifty (50) years old, nearing the end of its useful life, and is growing beyond capacity in programs. As a year-round indoor facility, there are ongoing needs and interests for additional aquatic spaces as well as significant health and safety upgrades to continue serving the community.
The Tukwila Pool aims to have a facility that will enhance our ability to better serve the Tukwila community by improving and expanding access to essential aquatic services.
Thank You for Your Support! ~
Two weeks ago, the Tukwila Pool MPD asked our community to share stories and voice support for the site where the Tukwila Pool currently sits. This was because the Tukwila School District was considering potentially selling district-owned property, and the TPMPD would have been interested in purchasing the property that the Tukwila Pool leases from the School District to support the future development of the Tukwila Pool.
We want to extend our appreciation to everyone who spoke up at the School Board meeting or sent in written comments. Your voices truly reflect how much the Tukwila Pool means to our community.
While the School District ultimately voted not to sell any district-owned property, the Tukwila Pool is not closing. The pool will continue to operate on its current site for years to come while also exploring opportunities to purchase a property that aligns with our future development and vision for accessible water safety, swim lessons, recreation, and lifelong aquatic opportunities for all.
For future updates and to stay connected, follow us on our Instagram, Facebook, and visit our Future & Vision webpage. Your support continues to make a difference!
