As the area’s temperatures soar, some Snohomish County communities are opening up their air-conditioned doors to offer respite from the heat.
Seniors and youngsters are both more susceptible to suffer dehydration, overheating and other adverse health affects from the heat.
If you know about a cooling center, please e-mail newstips@heraldnet.com or call 425-339-3451.
Here are some options:
Everett Senior Activity Center, 3025 Lombard St., will be open until 4:30 p.m. Thursday.
Here are Everett parks that offer both shaded outdoor areas and some water access: Forest Park, 802 E. Mukilteo Blvd.; Silver Lake, 11400 W. Silver Lake Road; Howarth Park, 1127 Olympic Blvd.
No Sno-Isle branches are official cooling stations, but most do have air conditioning. The only Snohomish County libraries that are not air conditioned are Arlington, Lake Stevens, and Stanwood. The other 12 in Snohomish County are Brier, Darrington, Edmonds, Granite Falls, Lynnwood, Marysville, Mill Creek, Monroe, Mountlake Terrace, Mukilteo, Snohomish, and Sultan. Their hours vary, and Brier is closed on Thursdays.
Snohomish Senior Center, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday and Friday, 504 Fourth Ave. If you are in need of transportation please call 360-568-0934.
