White Salmon will not have a swimming pool this summer.  Klickitat County and Washington state health inspectors found numerous critical deficiencies to the aging pool that are a significant risk to health and safety that would have to be repaired prior to its opening, and the cost is estimated at over $50,000, more than what municipal officials had budgeted to run the pool this summer, so City Councilors made the decision not to reopen it.  The City along with the new White Salmon Valley Metropolitan Pool District agreed to look into providing discounted passes to the Hood River Valley Aquatic Center for district residents this summer.  The pool district has already indicated it is highly unlikely a new pool can be built before the 2020 summer season.  That district was created in November with the intent of seeing through construction and then operation of a new swimming pool.
