It has been brought to our attention that, on multiple occasions, children have been left at the pool without supervision. Washington State Law requires that no child 12 or under be allowed in the pool area without a responsible adult who is 18 years or older.

WAC-246-26-131 section (9) (c) (i) (ii):

(c) In pool facilities where lifeguards are not present, in accordance with subsection (6)(c) and (e) of this section, owners shall adopt rules, provide enforcement of conditions for pool use and notify users when first using facility and at least annually thereafter that conditions for use include:

(i) If a child twelve years of age or less is using the pool, a responsible adult eighteen years of age or older shall accompany the child and be at the pool or pool deck at all times the child uses the facility; and

(ii) If anyone seventeen years of age or less is using the pool, a minimum of two people shall be at the pool facility.

We are in the process of updating our posted pool and spa signage to ensure this requirement is clear. In the meantime, please make sure all children under 13 years of age are supervised by an adult at all times; and, anyone under 18 years of age, is in the presence of two or more people while using pool and spa facilities.

Thank you in advance for your immediate attention to this matter.
