On March 12, 2026, the Shoreline City Council discussed the potential Pool Facility Ballot Measure. They reviewed the proposed design for the pool facility and preliminary cost estimates. They also discussed using property taxes collected through a metropolitan park district to pay for it.
The City Council is interested in moving forward with a ballot measure in November 2026 to build, run, and maintain a new pool facility. Staff are scheduled to present draft ballot materials to the City Council at their May 11 Council meeting. Council has until the end of July to decide whether to place a measure on the November ballot for Shoreline voters to make the final decisions.
Visit the City’s Pool Facility Exploration Project webpage to see the current design booklet and learn more about the project.

I think most community members are unaware that the draft design does not include a hot tub. I mentioned this problem at the community open house, where my comments were quickly waved away by a dismissive member of the committee.
A hydrotherapy pool kept at 92 degrees is a glorified lukewarm bath. Many people have bathtubs at home. A hot tub kept at 104 degrees is actually effective at soothing aching muscles. Only a few fortunate people have hot tubs at home.
A hot tub must be a required part of the measure sent to voters, or the project should not move forward. As it stands, we won't get one at all, while the Lynnwood Pool boasts *two.*
