The Pioneer Park Aviary may soon find its enclosures empty after Walla Walla City Council voted to close it two weeks ago. A motion to begin the planning phase of closing the aviary, which has been the subject of closure talks since 2010, was passed by a 5-2 vote of the City Council on Feb. 12.
Walla Walla currently lacks a public pool facility; a committee titled Rebuild Memorial Pool is attempting to change that with a cost effective plan to restore an old pubic pool that was shut down in 2006.
