LYNNWOOD — Not in the neighborhood where children play.

That was the message Saturday against an opioid treatment center set to open Jan. 23 at 2322 196th St. SW in Lynnwood.

The protest organized by Safe Lynnwood, a grassroots group of parents and residents, was in front of the medical building that also houses dental offices. Speakers included several City Council members.

About 60 protesters waving signs and chanting “Protect our Kids” then marched down 24th Street West to the nearby Alderwood Boys & Girls Club.

1. Why don't they just be honest...?

Just chant “NIMBY! NIMBY! NIMBY!”

2. It's a little more complicated than that

If you've ever been to a methadone clinic you'd know what I mean (I have). The behaviors of the clients aren't necessarily consistent with neighborhood safety, trust me.
