About Boehms

On August 15, 1978 the City of Issaquah proclaimed it Julius Boehm day, in recognition of all the public service and donations. Soon after The King County parks system named the Issaquah District swimming pool as the Julius Boehm Pool.

Throughout the years Julius was very active in many sports including water polo, skiing, swimming, and boxing. He spent many years teaching youth skiing and swimming. He also established his own ski school. At the youthful age of 80, Julius amazingly climbed 14,410 feet, to the peak of Mt. Rainier. Conquering Mt. Rainier was something Julius did three times during his life.


Conquering Mt. Rainier was something Julius did
three times during his life.

Shortly before his death at age 83, Julius’s vision of a shrine to mountain climbers was completed. Next to the Boehms retail store and manufacturing plant, a replica of a 12th century chapel near St. Moritz, Switzerland was built. The interior of the chapel features a recreation of Michelangelo’s Creation of Man suspended from the ceiling. Behind it, a mural showing a fallen mountaineer being raised into the mists, by a Christ figure merges with an altar of stone.
The 50-seat chapel is frequently reserved for weddings. (www.highalpinechapel.com) It also was used as a community prayer spot following the September 11th tragedies. The chapel can be seen today by guided tours that are available by appointment.
