Weyerhaeuser King County Aquatic Center

This 2,500-seat facility maintains one of the most active competition schedules in the country, hosting more than 50 events annually. It has been the site of some of the Pacific Northwest's premiere events, including top national and international competitions, including the Olympic Trials. The Aquatic Center has two natatoriums, one for competition and training and the other for recreational programs. Both can be rented for private events, and a banquet hall is available for events as well.

The competition natatorium houses a diving tank with a full complement of springboard and platform levels and a 50-meter competition pool with two movable bulkheads. The recreation natatorium houses a 25-year warm water, zero-depth entry pool.
