Mary Wayte Pool is a symbol of community, pride and partnership on Mercer Island. It represents King County, city of Mercer Island and Mercer Island School District’s shared commitment to the Island since 1972.
Backed by a $2 million investment by Mercer Island School District through the community approved 2021 Capital and Technology Levy and a $2 million King County grant, Mary Wayte Pool reopened on Sept. 16 after a temporary summer closure to complete phase one of a two-phase capital renovation project.
Phase one renovations include: Completely resurfaced pool liner; new lobby configuration with ADA viewing area looking out onto the pool that will also serve as a small space for birthday parties and group events; updated ADA lobby bathroom with a new shower,
