Absurd: One Washington State Town Ranks Worst for Rooftop Swimming

One Town In Washington Town Ranks As Worst Place To Rooftop Swim

I'm all for crazy surveys, but this new survey released about rooftop swimming had me chuckling especially with those in one Washington State town.

Where Are There Places To Rooftop Swim In Washington State?

I imagine rooftop swimming in big cities like Seattle and Spokane would be amazing. Seattle would have some amazing views from a pool that looks directly at the Space Needle or Mount Rainier.

The funny thing about this recent survey that I was reading, one Washington State town is far away from that reality but still managed to get on this rooftop swim survey.

A new survey released by roof gnome has done the work for you when it comes to rooftop swimming.

I don't think it will come as a surprise that places like Miami Beach Florida and Los Angeles California scored as the best places to rooftop swim. Las Vegas Nevada and Nashville Tennessee rounded out this top 10.

To my surprise, Yakima Washington was ranked as the 8th worst place in the nation for rooftop swimming. I'm not even sure how Yakima even made the list. If you have ever been to downtown Yakima, you know what I'm talking about.

The good news is that Yakima does have some neat new condos and such that could have some rooftop pools but I'm going to concur, the views might not be that spectacular when you are competing with Seattle and Vegas.

As a former Yakimite, it's nice to make a list but this survey and list are the most unusual that I've seen in a while. I've included the rankings below and you can read more about this survey here.
