Edmonds

Nestled just north of Seattle and south of Mukilteo, lies the quiet, small town of Edmonds.

Edmonds is home to about 40,000 people as well as a sought-after school district; a community college; an array of public art throughout the town and waterfront; a multitude of festivals and year-round activities; over 30 fantastic parks and playfields including an under-water park for scuba divers, off leash dog park, swimming pools, and trails; an amazing water front; great playhouses; and it’s own intimate concert venue in the Edmonds Center for the Arts.

Few places so close to everything can brag of the serene beauty that Edmonds has to offer. Downtown Edmonds is a friendly place to live; a place where cars gladly stop to let you walk across the street.

Edmonds is the place for a perfect Sunday walk to browse the many unique shops and sit outside coffee shops and chat with your neighbors. Filled with great restaurants, including some right on the beach, Edmonds residents enjoy fantastic dining experiences. Afterward you can catch a movie at the local cinema without fighting traffic. If you prefer a lazy stroll on the beach or marina, it’s just a block or two from the heart of downtown. There you can watch the Kingston ferry journey across the peaceful sound while watching the sun set behind the Olympic Mountains. Or better yet, hop a quick ride over for more shopping, a meal, or just to walk around. Bring a fishing pole and fish off the Edmonds Pier or hop in your boat or kayak for a water excursion.

Edmonds strings itself along the waterfront from Richmond Beach to Mukilteo, boasting some fantastic water and mountain views. From small condos to large waterfront properties, Edmonds has a home for everyone. Edmonds consists of many different neighborhoods including Picnic Point, Meadowdale, Seaview, Edmonds Bowl, Wingate, Firdale, Woodway, Esperance, Talbot Park, Yost Park, Westgate, Beverly Park, Maplewood, Chase Lake, Lake Ballinger, Lake Serene, Perrinville, Norma Beach, and of course, Downtown Edmonds.

Commuting is easy in Edmonds. Take the bus or ride the Sounder train to and from work in Seattle and beyond. Relax and enjoy the view of the waterfront along the way.

From the Summer Saturday Markets to the Third Thursday Art Walks to the many summer festivals and the everyday breathtaking beauty, the quiet community of Edmonds is the hidden gem of the Northwest, providing a small town hideaway so close to the big city.
