From one email, a movement started!
One February 26th, 2026, Evergreen State College sent out an email saying that they were closing down the pool as a cost-saving measure.
Since then, thousands of emails have been sent and petitions signed. But we must keep up the work!
If you haven't, sign the petition here: https://www.change.org/p/keep-the-evergreen-state-college-pool-open
And keep emailing community leaders! Tell them how important aquatics is to you, to Thurston County, and to survival in the waters of Washington State!
