Shortly after Evergreen Pool (now Evergreen Aquatics Center) was shut down in August White Water Aquatics Swim Team, who swam out of Evergreen Pool, began looking for a way to reopen the pool. Nine months later, after raising public contributions and negotiating with the County and the School District White Water Aquatics realized their dream of reopening the pool.

At Evergreen Pool for the ribbon cutting ceremony was King County Executive Dow Constantine, Burien Mayor Joan McGilton, Deputy Mayor Rose Clark, Evergreen Pool General Manager Joel Scweiger, Greg Duff- former president of the North Highline Unincorporated Area and State Representative's Sharon Nelson and Eileen Cody.

After the ribbon cutting the pool was open to the public for a free swim. There will be another free swim on May 15, after the White Center Spring Cleanup.

Evergreen is reopening without the benefit of taxes from a parks district, like Mount Rainier Pool in Des Moines. The pool is looking for continued community support and donations to remain open.
