Issaquah asks for input on pool

Officials with the city of Issaquah wants to know what people think about the idea of constructing a new pool and or renovating the Julius Boehm Pool.

The Boehm pool is 36 years old and faces higher demand then it can handle. The city has not yet determined which option they prefer or if they even want to take action. They are requesting citizen input in two workshops, held from 7-8:30 p.m. on Oct. 22 at Blakely Hall.
