🌊 Together, We Make a Bigger Splash 🌊
Trout Lake Annexation Forum
📅 The Trout Lake Community Council will host a Voters Forum on October 7 at 6:00 PM at the Trout Lake Grange Hall. Representatives from the WSVPMPD and speakers from both the pro and con committees will be present.
On November 4, 2025, Trout Lake voters will have the chance to make waves by joining the White Salmon Valley Pool Metropolitan Park District. Annexation isn’t just about tax rates and lines on a map — it’s about building a shared future, one where our region comes together around a community pool that serves everyone.
No Matter What the Nov. 4 Election Outcome Is – Trout Lake Residents Are Welcome at the Pool! Annexation strengthens the partnership, broadens the base, and unlocks more opportunities — but with or without it, Trout Lake community members will always be able to swim, learn, and play at the pool.
Imagine summer afternoons filled with swim lessons, early-morning lap swims, and neighbors connecting poolside — annexation helps make that vision sustainable for years to come.
💧 Learn More About AnnexationHow did the annexation process start?
The annexation request originated with Trout Lake residents, who petitioned join the White Salmon Valley Pool Metropolitan Park District.
Under state law (RCW 35.61.250–270), the process includes:
Petition by local voters,
A public hearing by the District Board, and
A community vote within the proposed annexation area.
Only Trout Lake voters will decide whether to join the District in the November 2025 election. The District is covering all costs associated with placing the measure on the ballot so the community can make an informed, no-cost decision.
