Great place for lap swimming. Check the schedule on the website since it changes according to the season. The pool is well used by the community, it’s always clean and the staff is very friendly.

It's very nice. The dry sauna and the hot tub could both be a little hotter but they are the only ones in a public facility in Seattle I think and they were included with the pool fee. They also offer "just a shower" but it's almost the same price. Anyway it's a very low key relaxing place to go.
