Two WSB’ers e-mailed this week to say they had walked past Colman Pool and noticed it drained, again, with just days to go till the 7-day-a-week summer season. We checked with Seattle Parks‘ Joelle Hammerstad, who explains that the pool was indeed “drained down by about 90% because we found another bad valve. The damaged valve was from the pool to the surge pit, which collects the water before goes into the pumps. That’s fixed, and we started re-filling it (Wednesday night) at high tide.” She expects the outdoor pool – back to saltwater this year! – to open on time at noon tomorrow; here’s the season schedule.
