Seattle’s Child magazine recently ran an article on Project Seattle Pools that included a great quote from the originator of the Seattle pool efforts:

“Our city has not kept up with the times. Whenever you have long wait lists (three to 12 years) and expensive fees to join private clubs ($2,000-$25,000), swimming becomes an exclusive activity,” Larsen says.

Our thanks go to Seattle’s Child for helping to get the word out about the need for pool supporters to speak for pools during the upcoming forums for the Seattle Park’s Department’s strategic plan.
