With the drop in temperatures over the past week, the City of Kent opened a severe weather shelter at the Kent Lutheran Church and operated by Catholic Community Services to provide a place for the homeless to get in out of the cold.
The shelter was open from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m. and priority was given to homeless families with children.
According to officials with the city, 12 people took advantage of the shelter on both Tuesday and Wednesday night.
