EVERETT — A young Lynnwood woman has become the second county resident to die from the flu this year.
The woman, who was in her 20s, died last week at Providence Regional Medical Center Everett, the Snohomish Health District reported Wednesday.
She is the first influenza death reported in the official 2022-23 flu season, which started Oct. 2 and is on track to be the worst flu season since before the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a health district release.
