Thanks to Rick Steves, Lynnwood Hygiene Center has a permanent home

“I’m going on my second year here,” Gillins said. “If this place wasn’t here I don’t know how I would’ve survived.”

The hygiene center has provided more than 50,000 showers to people experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity since it opened in 2020. Guests can eat a hot meal and have access to clothing, essential needs and case management services.
