This paper reports Very Large Array (VLA) continuum observations at 22, 15, 5, and 1.5 GHz as well as OH maser observations at 1612 MHz of the peculiar, compact nebula K 3-35. The radio continuum maps reveal a poorly resolved, centrally ionized core and a well resolved S-shaped halo which is reminiscent of symmetric outflow. The core's brightness temperature is calculated to lie between 14,000 and 20,000 K, implying that it is a high excitation object. The nebula's appearance at 5GHz is consistent with earlier data, indicating that the nebula has not evolved significantly over a period of about 4 years. All of the observed 1612 MHz line emission lies within 0.5 arcsec of the radio continuum source, leaving little doubt that the two are physically associated. The observed characteristics of K 3-35 favor the far kinematic distance of 9 kpc. The calculated stellar luminosity, ionized mass, core density, and linear size are 10000 solar luminosities, 0.03 solar masses, 7 x 10 exp 4/cu cm, and 0.1 pc, respectively.
