That warm but also refreshing pool uses a lot of energy to be the perfect temp 🏊 Indoor and outdoor pools are energy intensive and burn climate-warming gasses to warm up. We teamed up with @SeattleParks to upgrade @CityofSeattle’s pools 🔗 Read more greenspace.seattle.gov/2025/… – at Seattle, WA

Camp Long’s historic lodge has been a place of memories for generations. When arson gutted the landmark in 2024, all that remained were those memories. Now, @SeattleParks is helping rebuild it one beam at a time. Full feature: youtu.be/o1B3WBglAVA

🫀King County is a global leader in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survival rates. Why? Because so many residents are trained in CPR. You can also be part of the difference! Take free CPR class from @SeattleFire & @SeattleParks. More info: seattle.gov/medic2 @CityofSeattle

[Thread] Thinking about heading to the water this weekend? Please take cold water safety seriously. Wearing a life jacket significantly increases chances of survival during an unexpected immersion into cold water.
Periods of warm weather in the spring and early summer cause rivers to run cold and fast. Cold water drains body heat up to 25 times faster than cold air. It only takes water as cold as 60F to cause cold water shock. Always wear a life jacket around water and dress for water temperature, not air temperature. Keep a close eye on kids and pets. Know the signs of cold shock (involuntary gasping, rapid breathing) which drastically increases the risk of drowning.

Temps will rise into the 80s (some areas around 90) by Sunday. Fortunately we will see some cooling overnight. One of our main concerns is water safety. Waters across the region are still very cold & running fast. Cold water can quickly become dangerous! weather.gov/safety/coldwater

OSE and @SeattleParks have teamed up to invest in 3 South Seattle community centers to make climate resilience and functionality upgrades 🛠️ Swipe to see which locations ➡️ Climate change is here — residents are facing air pollution, extreme weather, and more, and our low-income and communities of color are often hit first and worst ⛈️ Community centers are important gathering spaces for play and during times of crisis 🚨 Improvements to these buildings will not only reduce climate pollution by being more energy efficient, but they also create more welcoming and safe spaces for community 🏤 #ReducingClimatePollution #ReducingEmissions #ClimateResilience #SeattleParks #SeattleCommunityCenters #SeattleGreenNewDeal #CityofSeattle #SeattleOSE #SeattleSustainabilityandEnvironment

It was an honor to celebrate the Cheryl Chow Park opening in Rainier Valley – the newest addition to Seattle’s world-class parks system. I look forward to seeing how this park honors Cheryl’s legacy by bringing people together and strengthening the fabric of this community.
