With an atmospheric river bringing widespread rain, wind and flooding to Western Washington, the South County cold weather shelter will be open Wednesday, Dec. 10.
The shelter is located at Maple Park Church, 17620 60th Ave. W. Note the late pickup times for Wednesday.
Usually, cold weather shelters are open when temperatures are forecast to be at or below 34 degrees. The shelter was scheduled to be open Dec. 9 as well as Dec. 10 due to flooding concerns.
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 Dec. 10, at the following times and locations:
- 9 p.m. Lynnwood City Hall (19100 44th Ave. W., Lynnwood)
