After five years of serving showers, hot meals and a sense of community, the Jean Kim Foundation’s Hygiene Center will close its doors due to circumstances beyond its control, according to a news release.

The hygiene center at 19726 64th Ave. W. in Lynnwood will cease operations Friday, Dec. 12. There will be an event that day from noon to 2 p.m. that will involve a free raffle and thank you remarks to guests and community partners.

In the news release, foundation board member Ted Haase offered “deep gratitude for the generous commitment for our community partners and volunteers to provide human care and kindness through the Hygiene Center.”

The building the hygiene center sits on used to be an emissions testing facility. The foundation does not own it. Jeffrey Butler with Lynnwood Land
