The Snohomish Health District will continue drive-thru testing at the 3900 Broadway site in Everett Monday-Friday, Oct. 12-16 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. With daylight hours decreasing, and testing volumes seen earlier in the day, the Health District will no longer be offering evening testing appointments.

In addition to the Everett site, the health district will also be offering testing at the Lynnwood Food Bank on Tuesday, Oct. 13. Appointments will be available from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 5320 176th St. S.W.
