The pool’s boiler is broken, and it’s been shut down for a year; Bothell has not been able to find a way to operate it without losing money. In addition to free use of the pool, McMenamins will also give Bothell free access to community meeting space and a community garden for 15 years.”

Sad, sad, sad that Kenmore didn’t pursue this opportunity when McMenamins was interested in the seminary building at St. Edwards. I take part of the blame because those of us who were in favor of McMenamins didn’t make our voices heard over those who were opposed to the idea. I fear McMenamins may have been our only opportunity to have the seminary building rehabbed.
