    Opening pool in Seattle

    We took a water sample to the pool store for testing. He couldn't print results for us but said the water was actually in pretty good shape and gave us two bags of shock and told us to bring a sample back next week. The water was sort of white, not green, cloudy and we could see the bottom...
