[Colman Pool, Seattle, WA]

Outdoor saltwater slightly chlorinated heated Olympic size pool with a corkscrew water slide. That pretty much sums up Colman pool in the West Seattle neighborhood of Seattle, WA. This pool was donated to the City of Seattle in 1941 by Kenneth B. Colman and named in memory of his father, Laurence J. Colman. The contributions of the Colman family to Seattle include Colman Park in the Mount Baker neighborhood; the Colman building located downtown across from the Washington State ferry terminal which used to be Colman dock; and, of course, Colman pool. The pool itself is heated to 85 degrees and is situated between Lincoln Park and Puget Sound – completely encircled by nature. Children usually outnumber adults during public swim time so even though the surroundings are tranquil the activity in and around the pool is anything but. A limited number of chaise lounges line the perimeter, although, they occupy quickly. More information about the pool can be found here. Pictures of the pool and surrounding area can be viewed here.
