SMOKE: Seattle Parks closing outdoor pools for rest of today, plus tomorrow

4:39 PM: Just announced by Seattle Parks: Because of the unhealthy air, it’s closing its outdoor pools as well as the remaining still-in-operation wading pools, through tomorrow. Colman Pool is closing at 4:45 pm, and wading pools (including Lincoln Park) were to begin draining an hour ago. (Sprayparks weren’t mentioned, so we’re checking on their status.)

5:06 PM: Parks’ Christina Hirsch replied that sprayparks are staying open. (West Seattle’s lone spraypark is in Highland Park at 1100 SW Cloverdale.)

    I was wondering about that — we have lessons this week and next and I didn’t really think we should have been there today.  Think it’s a smart move and just got a call from Colman pool noting the cancellation of lessons for tomorrow.

Sorry, comment time is over.
