Reporter Joanna Small met with the Hoffman family who traveled to Everett from Wyoming with another family. Unfortunately, while staying at a Motel 6 in Everett, the other family took off in the middle of the night with their money.

Angelica Hoffman says her husband resorted to panhandling to try and scrape enough money together to afford a place to stay. They didn’t want their two children to sleep outside.

As luck would have it, the Motel 6 they were staying at is next to the Mariner Park and Ride in Everett, where Lindsey Arrington and Robert Smiley were hosting a dinner for people down on their luck.
