Facility Improvement Weeks

Each year, your local Y may temporarily close for Facility Improvement Week—a dedicated time for upgrades and projects designed to enhance your experience. 

Take a look at the 2026 improvement weeks below. 

Northshore YMCA

• Closed: August 29-September 4 (The pool closes one day earlier on August 28)
• Reopens: Saturday September 5

We’re making a series of improvements throughout the facility to enhance your experience—from floor refinishing to pool maintenance to refreshed workout spaces and a deep clean across the entire Y. These projects are designed to ensure everything feels welcoming, well-maintained, and ready for you to enjoy.

During our closure, many of our group fitness classes will move to the Carol Edwards Center in Woodinville. Find the schedule online, in the YMCA360 app, or download the PDF.
