Cold weather shelters in Snohomish County open as temperatures drop
MONROE — Roger Evans remembers the winters he spent outside being miserable.
On his fingers, he counted to seven: the number of shelters he remembers in his 35 years of homelessness while he struggled with addiction.
On Tuesday, however, he stood in the lobby at New Hope Fellowship in Monroe. Hours later, the church would be set up with cots to offer refuge for people living outside as overnight temperatures approach freezing in Snohomish County.
“I’m trying to give people the tools I was given to get here,” said Evans, now the shelter coordinator here.
