U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen to visit Lynnwood on Wednesday

By Evan Smith

U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen will be in Lynnwood on Wednesday to serve lunch to seniors at the Center for Healthy Living, followed by taking a tour of local businesses, including one in Lynnwood.

The Center for Healthy Living is run by Senior Services of Snohomish County. The Center provides seniors services including hot meals and bilingual social workers to help with housing, medical, financial, caregiver, and long-term care needs.

Larsen will be at the center at 4100 Alderwood Mall Boulevard, Suite 1, in Lynnwood at noon Wednesday.

Larsen will tour Trieva’s Spa and Boutique, 19505 44th Ave. W. Suite A, Lynnwood, at 2:30 p.m. The spa owners recently used help from the Snohomish Small Business Development Council to get a loan to open a second location in north Seattle.
