Tamarack Programs & Activitites > Tamarack Wellness Center > Accessibility & Sustainability  Accessibility & Sustainability Solar Panels The Tamarack Pool prides itself on being environmentally conscious. We have the second largest Solar Thermal Ray Heating System in the Pacific Northwest. Although utilizing Solar heating of the pool helps to lower energy costs, we still require supplemental funding to cover these needs. User fees cover only 50% of our total operating costs.
