Sequim Police Department reports that the Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center, 610 N Fifth Ave., slated to become the Sequim Y in the fall, was broken into and vandalized on May 14.

Police Chief Bill Dickinson said following an investigation, police officers identified juveniles that unlawfully entered the building and burglarized it.

The suspects, both 14-year-old males, have been referred to juvenile court and are charged with burglary and malicious mischief.

The boys allegedly entered the building through the building’s ventilation system, Sequim Police reports.

Len Borchers, acting CEO of the Olympic Peninsula YMCA, said damage ranges between $2,000-$4,000 depending on if they need to replace an air grate.

Most of the cost is for clean up, he said, as damage was minimal from discharging fire extinguishers.

SARC closed operations in October 2015 but the YMCA plans to reopen it this fall.

Borchers said people will be in the building almost every day leading up to reopening and they’ve secured the external fence and gate and repaired the security alarm.

“It was a mischievous prank and we will be looking for restitution from the perpetrators,” he said.
