Summary
New full-sized shower curtains have been installed at Lynnwood Recreation Center after staff received a July 12 complaint about a self-identifying trans woman using a women’s locker-room shower during a swim meet.
City spokesperson Nathan MacDonald said the facility followed Washington code requiring access to gender-segregated spaces based on gender identity or expression, and staff spoke with both parties after the complaint.
Maria Varchetto said she saw exposed male genitalia through a gap in a partly open shower curtain while her daughter was competing, then reported the incident to the front desk.
The city said it is also considering further shower-area modifications to improve privacy, as the episode renewed debate over access rules in sex-segregated facilities.
