What is the City of Everett thinking.  A swimming pool is not cheap to run and the City of Everett knows this. In the past two budgets the city had threatened to shut down Forest Park Pool due to the high subsidies and cost or operating the pool. Adding another pool within less than two miles is like adding a new golf course within the city limits. The City of Everett better be totally transparent including how much subsidy is being spent to operate Forest Park Pool. I do not believe Forest Park Pool has ever broken even since its inception and is subsidized by hundreds of thousands of taxpayer money each year. If the YMCA wants a pool it should be built on their own through donations and membership fees.
