U.S. Rep. Suzan DelBene recently joined Kenmore Mayor David Baker in a visit to Mary’s Place Northshore, a family homeless shelter that serves the Northshore community.

DelBene and Baker toured the facility, which was converted from a vacant King County Sheriff’s Office in Kenmore last summer, and met with several families who are currently staying there.

“We know that homelessness is a huge issue throughout all of our communities and the fact that Mary’s Place has been able to work with so many local organizations and put together a facility like this to give people a safe place to go is incredible,” DelBene said. “It’s wonderful that they were able to come up to Kenmore.”

Marty Hartman, director of Mary’s Place, guided the tour and described each of the services offered within the facility.
