Medgar Evers Pool Set for 1.4 Million Renovation

The Medgar Evers Pool, a key recreational facility in Seattle's Central District and Capitol Hill, will undergo an extensive renovation starting soon. The city has allocated $1. 4 million for the eight-week project aimed at enhancing the pool's infrastructure and amenities. City officials highlighted the critical role of public swimming pools in promoting community health and access to recreational opportunities. The planned upgrades will include improvements to the pool's facilities, ensuring a better experience for swimmers.

This renovation is part of Seattle's broader initiative to invest in public infrastructure and maintain accessible community services. Officials believe these enhancements will draw more visitors and foster a healthier community. The project reflects ongoing efforts to revitalize public spaces and meet the needs of local residents. The renovations are expected to conclude by the end of the year, with the pool reopening for public use shortly thereafter.
