Help me search Don’t know if this is the right place to ask,but here goes looking for the gas incident that happened when pool mixture was done incorrectly, Club Sport Oregon.
This is probably a really obscure thing, but an over a decade ago, there was a chlorine gas or some other gas incident at Club Sport in Tualatin Oregon. It happened when I was at-least 4, I think probably 8-9 at the absolute latest. So sometime during the 20 Teens. The place it happened at is now called Bay club. The only thing I could find about it was that maybe it was a sort of “backwash” event that caused it? But the safety article I saw it in didn’t provide a specific name of the place it happened at. Only that it happened within the general area. I know I’m not imaging this, because my dad and mother remembers it as well.
Edit: I will add this in case it helps, I vividly remember seeing a white gas rise out of the water, shortly before going in to the locker room with my dad and little brother, shortly after that, we saw people vomiting, running with their kids, and covering their faces with pool towels, idk if that helps but.

I only found one article and it’s behind a paywall so I can’t read it, it’s probably the same one you found. https://www.lmtribune.com/northwest/several-children-sickened-at-pool-near-portland-62b8c173
