Shoreline Prop 1 would fund a new pool for Shoreline - city information sessions scheduled on Zoom

Old Shoreline Pool October 2022

On June 1, the Shoreline City Council adopted Resolution No. 562. The resolution places Shoreline Proposition 1 on the November 3 general election ballot to create the Shoreline Metropolitan Park District (MPD).

If approved by Shoreline voters, Proposition 1 would create the Shoreline MPD, which would enable the City to build and operate a pool facility with financing from Shoreline MPD property tax revenue

The old Shoreline Pool was past its useful life, although staff kept it looking good. Parts would regularly break. New parts were not being manufactured, so staff had to search the U.S. to find and purchase used parts.

Finally the decision was made to remove the pool entirely. The pool has been replaced by a large picnic pavilion which is available for rental or for casual use.

Now Shoreline has no public pool but two private pools - one specially for children. Mountlake Terrace has a pool but they are facing the same problem as Shoreline - an aging pool and no source for parts.
