My husband and I lived in PT for some time, but now live in Quilcene. I know that PT is a nice town...it needs help here and there as all towns do, but....BUT...building a Big Very Fancy 'State of the Art Swimming Pool' is a joke! A slap in the face to us all!! I will for one, will not use the pool, and no one in my family nor any of my friends will use it either. I do not believe we should be required to pay for such a thing just because you deem it 'necessary'! If you guys want a 'town pool' then fine, make a nice simple swimming pool that fits with the ambiance of a small historical seaport town, and a building that will fit within the 'Budget of The PT Community' and not all of Jefferson County!! I don't know if you are desiring bringing the Olympics to PT, but a small simple swimming pool would suffice instead if you really believe there are that many swimmers that need a new building. Maybe do a 'Go Fund Me' for it, or a 'Swim Sercles' fund raiser for it. Once the money is raised, then build it. But PLEASE Do Not Tax us poor people for such a thing as this! I am wondering what constituted the commissioning of an architect and rubber stamping the final 'Very Very Expensive' drawings and details of an 'out of place' horrible looking monstrous of a building!! Were there other drawings and drafts of simpler less expensive ones to choose from? Who is paying for the architect? I think...a community 'Pea Patch Garden', constructed on the now designated pool site, would help 'the community' much more that a stupid swimming pool! Just voicing my opinion Sincerely, LSLewis, Quilcene, WA
