 The downtown Seattle YMCA is undergoing an extensive remodel that started in March, 1999. The one-year project will conclude in April or May of 2000, resulting in a state-of-the-art facility.

Pre-existing downtown YMCA members, or YMCA Triangle members, can work out at the temporary location, located at 900 3rd Ave. The temporary gym has cardio and Nautilus equipment and showers. Downtown members also will be able to visit any other YMCA during the year-long remodel.

Although there was some charm to the odd floor pattern, multi-tiered rooms and confusing hallways of the venerable YMCA, the decades-old building has been crying for updates — as have many members — for some time.

The conversion won't stop you from working out right up to demolition day, however. The YMCA has a basketball court, pool, free weights and a full lineup of aerobic and yoga classes.
