City briefs | Public meetings about pool, HighMark office building

Pool workshops 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. Each year more than 24,000 people use the pool each year. The Boehm pool has aging systems that are very ineffective when compared to new cities, city officials say. 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 Sept. 24 at Tibbetts Creek Manor and from 7-8:30 p.m. on Oct. 22 at Blakely Hall. For more information, call Jen Newton at (425) 837-3355.
