Attendees enjoy picnic fare Saturday.
Dozens gathered Saturday afternoon to honor the life of the Rev. Dr. Jean Kim, a local advocate who worked to educate and shelter those experiencing homelessness.
Around 50 people came together for a memorial picnic to remember Kim, founder of the Jean Kim Foundation For The Homeless Education, who died in her home on July 3. She was 86 years old.
The event took place at the former Lynnwood emissions test station, which was repurposed last year as a hygiene center for those who are homeless. Visitors can use the restroom, get a shower and pick up basic hygiene products, food and clothes.
