Planned Parenthood closes Kent, Shelton, and First Hill Seattle locations, citing funding troubles

Planned Parenthood says funding challenges have forced it to close three locations in Western Washington this year in Seattle, Kent, and Shelton.

The closures impact about 7,000 clients.

The organization says the biggest reason for the closure is because Washington State has fallen behind neighboring states when it comes to funding – specifically when it comes to Medicaid reimbursements.

Now Planned Parenthood is calling on lawmakers to act before it needs to shut down more locations.
