DUE TO COVID-19 SAFETY CONCERNS, THE PALOUSE POOL IS CLOSED FOR THE SUMMER.

I am sending this memo to inform our community that the Palouse Pool will be closed indefinitely. Due to the national and local trends associated with COVID-19, the City of Palouse no longer feels it can operate the pool facility as well as deliver swim lessons safely. This decision was not easily arrived at and I do apologize for the abruptness of the timing. That said, I hope all will understand said decision was made with the welfare and safety of our community members in mind. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Note: All swim lesson fees will be 100% refunded.

Sincerely,

Mayor Chris Cook
City of Palouse
