PENINSULA: Sol Duc Hot Springs to reopen

Sol Duc Hot Springs Resort, which closed last summer over bacterial concerns, will reopen by May 1.

Olympic National Park and resort owners reached final agreement Friday on a set of new standards intended to reduce the chances of spring users introducing contaminants.

“We are extremely pleased that we have a resolution that is going to allow us to reopen,”‘ resort Accommodations Manager Andy Bales said.

“We are very happy that the resort will be able to open and we look forward to a great summer season,” park spokeswoman Barb Maynes said.
