We will provide various personal care items for jammers to use available at the volunteer desks, so please take and use as much as you need. We do not have any showering facilities, so either go home and wash, or look for a local option like the 24-Hour Fitness (located at 229 Queen Anne Avenue North, Seattle, WA 98109, but only for members)
