Small-town charm permeates this waterfront community

Living in Downtown Edmonds puts you in the ideal position to experience the best of this waterfront Seattle suburb. Puget Sound provides the Downtown area with opportunities for boating and fishing as well as beautiful scenery, and on a clear day you can see both the Cascade and Olympic mountain ranges. The Edmonds Fountain at Main and 5th serves as Downtown’s most recognizable landmark, essentially anchoring Downtown’s business district. The surrounding blocks contain an eclectic mix of unique shops, international cafes, and other storefront businesses, creating a terrific walkable environment. Drop into Red Twig or Edmonds Bakery for breakfast, get bendy at Twist Yoga, or swing by Salish Brewing Company for a cold pint after work. The waterfront is packed with even more great hangouts: the Cascadia Art Museum is loaded with stunning displays, Brackett’s Landing provides the perfect spot to bask in the salt air, and the popular Arnies Restaurant serves up the freshest seafood just steps away from the source.

Edmonds Passenger Terminal allows you to hop a ferry across the sound to Kingston, and Amtrak service to Edmonds Station makes it a breeze to get around the greater Seattle area without having to drive.
