Join the City of Lynnwood and YWCA in recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month &
A Week Without Violence 

On Monday, October 14, 2013, Lynnwood's Mayor Don Gough, and City Council Members unanimously approved a proclamation recognizing October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and more specifically, October 14 - 20 as a Week Without Violence in the City of Lynnwood. 

The City of Lynnwood is partnering with the YWCA of King and Snohomish County to raise awareness in our community about the negative impacts domestic violence has on our community.

Lynnwood City Council, Mayor, City Staff, and staff members of the YWCA of King and Snohomish County gather to proclaim October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month and Oct. 14-20 as a Week Without Violence in Lynnwood.

Hands Are Not For Hitting

Hundreds of children from all around Snohomish County created these beautiful flags seen here at the Lynnwood Recreation Center. The artists were inspired by the book Hands Are Not For Hitting, Hands Are For... Their artwork and messages send a reminder of the power of nonviolence.

Stop by the Lynnwood Recreation Center from October 14 - 20 to see this artwork and please take a moment to ask yourself...What can I do to reduce violence in my community?

Thank you to the Lynnwood Police Guild for donating purple light bulbs for distribution at the Lynnwood Recreation Center. The community is urged to display "purple light nights" to show that domestic violence has no place in our community.
