This scenic Seattle suburb stands on its own as a thriving city

Coastal Parks Nature Boating Arts

Edmonds is a small suburban city located fifteen miles north of Seattle on the shore of Puget Sound. While the community serves as home base for many Seattle-area commuters, Edmonds’ thriving Downtown district near the waterfront hosts a huge and diverse mix of businesses. The dining scene incorporates regional favorites like fresh seafood and eclectic international fare, and numerous coffeehouses and neighborhood taverns serve as popular hangouts, largely clustered around the intersection of Main Street and 5th Avenue.

The community values the arts, with numerous downtown galleries and the annual Edmonds Arts Festival and Edmonds Jazz Connection showcasing the area’s creative side. The location is a nature lover’s dream: the Cascade Mountains are practically in your backyard, and ferry service across the sound to Kingston allows you to easily take a day trip to the Olympic Peninsula and explore the stunning Olympic National Park.
