With the contract in place, subcontractor bidding is expected to begin November 17, with construction anticipated to start in December 2026!
Ready for Bidding!

Contractors interested in participating can find bid information, upcoming dates, and pre-bid meeting details on our Bidding Information page.
Incredible Community Support
This milestone wouldn't be possible without the generosity of our community and the support of our public funding partners.
Together, we've made tremendous progress, including more than $2M raised in 2025/2026 through recent community fundraising campaigns and significant new investments from Washington State and Klickitat County.
We're now focused on closing our remaining funding gap, with a current fundraising target of approximately $650,000. Final funding needs will be refined as subcontractor bids are received and construction costs are confirmed.
Let's Bring It Across the Finish Line!
The new eight-lane, 25-yard outdoor pool will provide a much-needed home for swimming lessons, water safety education, recreation, and athletics for generations to come.
After years of hard work, we're excited to see construction on the horizon. Thank you to every donor, volunteer, community partner, and supporter who has helped us reach this milestone.
We're almost there. Help us bring the pool across the finish line!
