[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just remember, the outdoor swimming season in Seattle is extremely short. Summer weather doesn’t really start until after July 4th and is over by early/mid Sept. [/quote]

Have to agree with this PP—summer swim isn’t really a “thing” in Seattle like it is in other parts of the country, certainly not something one would choose a community for.  (There are a couple other private swim clubs—Klahaya in Edmonds, Wedgwood in North Seattle, but those are too far from Renton.)  There’s a great outdoor public pool at Lincoln Park in West Seattle, and I like to take my kids wading at various local beaches, but especially Alki (West Seattle) and Coulon (Renton), but Coulon has been closed some recent summers because of water quality issues.  I even take them down to Angle Lake (SeaTac) occasionally.  As far as water activities go, boating is probably more popular than swimming, and there are endless opportunities to get in a kayak or on a standup paddleboard.

I hope your family loves Seattle!![/quote]
