Port Townsend public pool could close because of high utility bills

East Jefferson County's only public swimming pool may close its doors in the coming months if the city of Port Townsend and the Port Townsend School District can't find a way to pay the utility bills.

u guys can't close the pool because it is fun for the kids and the swim team there will be no swim team if u guys close the pool

Same old sob story year after year. The violin has long since been worn out. Either shut the pool down or shut up already. I'm sick of reading about the school districts constant and never ending whining about money. Live within your budget or find employment elsewhere.

If you close the pool you need to replace it with an awesome public pool in a good location and an open schedule! this town needs a swim spot that is actually swimable!! ITS HOT!!!!!
