With a temperature of 34 degrees in the forecast, the South Snohomish County cold weather shelter will be open Tuesday, Dec. 30.
The shelter is located at Maple Park Church, 17620 60th Ave. W., Lynnwood
People must arrive at the shelter in a personal or commercial vehicle. The center requests no walkups. A van will pick up people headed for the shelter at the following times and locations:
- 7 p.m. Lynnwood City Hall (19100 44th Ave. W., Lynnwood)
- 7:10 p.m. James Village (196th Street Southwest and Hwy 99, Lynnwood)
- 7:25 p.m. Value Village (17216 Hwy 99, Lynnwood)
Check-in is from 7-9 p.m. Guests are not admitted after 9 p.m. unless escorted by law enforcement or emergency medical services personnel.
The Edmonds library has a note up about this shelter. But no information about public transportation is there. I’m not throwing shade on the library here, but this shelter is a long way from Edmonds on foot. Shouldn’t there be bus routes and stops listed on all shelter fliers?
