Aquatic Feasibility/Planning Project Grant Agreement
AB 8587
Built in 1972 under the King County Forward Thrust program, the pool was built with a 25-year life expectancy at a time when the city population was approximately 3,000 and the facility was able to meet the aquatic needs of the area. Since that time, the city has grown significantly, along with the Issaquah School District that it also serves, resulting in demand for pool use that exceeds the pool’s capacity. In 2013, the City of Issaquah passed a Park Bond that included $5 million for the renovation of the Issaquah Julius Boehm Pool. The renovation was completed in 2015, which improved and updated the existing facility, but did not increase the pool’s capacity.

Issue The City recently began to realign its strategies and budget to prioritize capital investment and reinvestment. This transition is necessary to address growth, level of service demands, and as the City moves from being able to rely on large-scale, developer-built infrastructure to City-built improvements throughout the whole community. Furthermore, expansion of and aging in the City’s Public Works asset inventory, an ambitious Capital Improvement Plan portfolio, and difficulty filling positions necessitate adding more resources to successfully sustain these assets and implement projects. Under current resources, the Public Works Department will not be able to complete its 2023 and 2024 workplans.
