White Salmon Mayor David Poucher has challenged his city’s pool committee to raise the remaining money needed to start construction on a new swimming pool this year.  The City has confirmed donations of $700,000, and another $300,000 is needed to break ground.  Poucher is hoping the additional money can be raised by July 4.  The pool being considered by White Salmon would be basic with no therapy or splash pool, and is estimated to cost about $1,500,000.  White Salmon has been using a pool constructed in Tonasket as an example.  Those wishing to donate can call White Salmon City Hall at 509-493-1133, extension 205.
