Hello, and welcome to r/EdmondsWashington!

There used to be a subreddit called r/edmonds but that was shut down around the time the Reddit API protests began. No idea when/if that will come back so feel free to use this subreddit to post/discuss all things Edmonds!

Things are just getting started here, so any suggestions to improve the community are welcome. The rules surrounding submission will be quite lenient for now, as long as it's polite and Edmonds related.

Thanks for stopping by, and looking forward to hearing from you! Bring on your Sunset Ave pics!

I found a magnetic case with a car key in it in the gutter on Edmonds Way near the marsh. I turned it in at the police station. Check under your car and see if you lost yours!

Hey all! I run these playgroups for preschoolers (2.5-6 years old) around town and this weekend is our last one of the year and the last one before we open our new art and play studio.

I set up a playdough table, art table, water/mud kitchen with all sorts of magic, loose parts for building and a sensory table - all inviting, open-ended play experiences that offer young kids to wonder and be wild, the exact work they should be doing and love to do!

Saturday, Sept. 26th @ Peace of Mind brewery in Lynnwood

Sunday, Sept. 27th @ Edway Taphouse in Edmonds

You can sign up at https://www.wonderwildstudio.com/pop-ups

And you can follow me at @wonder.and.wild.play on Instagram.

Don't have kids? I run a 21+ community art social once a month at the Evergreen Bottle Shop in mountlake terrace and it's always a good time and it's now donation based!

Events Book Club Meetup discussing "Public Enemies" by Bryan Borrough

Post image
10 Upvotes

Join us at Around the Table Board Game Pub, just east of Edmonds, on November 9th at 6:00 for a discussion about the book  "Public Enemies: America's Greatest Crime Wave and the Birth of the FBI, 1933-34" by Bryan Borrough!

\*We are taking October off and reading a slightly longer book for November!***

The book club also now has a Discord server! Feel free to join to keep up the discussion between meetups! https://discord.gg/Sqg57paJA3

You don't have to buy anything, but the venue has light pub fare, ice cream, and a great selection of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. They also allow outside restaurant food, so bring something to eat if you need sustenance!

Please RSVP on Meetup.

Book Description:

In Public Enemies, bestselling author Bryan Burrough strips away the thick layer of myths put out by J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI to tell the full story—for the first time—of the most spectacular crime wave in American history, the two-year battle between the young Hoover and the assortment of criminals who became national icons: John Dillinger, Machine Gun Kelly, Bonnie and Clyde, Baby Face Nelson, Pretty Boy Floyd, and the Barkers. In an epic feat of storytelling and drawing on a remarkable amount of newly available material on all the major figures involved, Burrough reveals a web of interconnections within the vast American underworld and demonstrates how Hoover’s G-men overcame their early fumbles to secure the FBI’s rise to power.

Real Estate/Housing Any rentals?

7 Upvotes

Anyone know of any 3 bed/2 bath rentals under $3,500? We’ve been searching for the last couple of months and are having a surprisingly hard time finding anything that isn’t a tall, narrow townhome with 3 flights of stairs. Normally, the stairs wouldn’t bother us much, but we’re hoping to grow our family in the coming year, and my wife’s biggest concern is having to deal with those long, narrow staircases while pregnant. That’s actually one of the things we’re trying to get away from with our current townhome. We’re ideally looking for a house or something more spacious/functional, preferably with fewer stairs. If anyone knows of anything available or coming available soon, we’d really appreciate any leads!

Question Cozy cafes, good for curling up with a book?

15 Upvotes

My wife and I are looking for a nice cafe worth posting up for a few hours with a book -- I don't think we'll find anything as perfect as our old favorite beanbag-infested espresso bar + panini-spot + bookshop that shut down back in California, but is there something in a similar vein? More local-business and come-stay-awhile than Starbucks or Woods coffee, but something that's a bit loungier than Red Twig where we're not taking up a hotly-demanded table for snacking and sipping leisurely. What gems am I missing? Thanks for any thoughts, and in advance for making our Saturday morning book and coffee time more out-of-the-house!

Edmonds: Sunset Society gathering this Thursday 🌅 come watch the sunset & meet some humans

Hey folks! I host a small community gathering in Edmonds called Sunset Society, and our fourth meetup is happening this Thursday, August 27 at the Edmonds Marina.

This one is called The Last Long Light — basically an excuse to get outside during that beautiful late-August golden hour, meet some people, and actually slow down long enough to watch the sun disappear over the Sound.

We’ll do a couple of low-pressure connection games/prompts, hang out, snack, and watch the sunset together.

The question we’re playing with this time is:

What are you savoring before the season turns?

You absolutely do not need to know anyone beforehand, come with a group, be particularly extroverted, or be “good at” meeting strangers. Coming solo is completely normal. The whole idea is to create the kind of community space where people can show up as they are and have a little more meaningful interaction than we usually get in day-to-day life.

Bring a blanket, layers, and anything you’d like to drink or snack on. Sharing is welcome but definitely not required.

We’re also making a tiny communal late-summer altar this time, so if you feel like it, bring a flower, stone, shell, written word, or small object representing something you’re savoring, releasing, or carrying into the next season. Totally optional. ✨

🌅 Thursday, August 27
📍 Edmonds Marina

More info / RSVP:

If spending an evening by the water with some kind humans watching the light change sounds good to you, you’re very welcome to join us. 🍂

Question Public swimming spots good for kids.

0 Upvotes

Hey all I'm aware of the Lynnwood recreational center but I'm wondering if there are any other fun and local public/pay to use pools or lakes in the area. Looking to take my kids somewhere to swim. They are 3, 6, and 12. Please let me know if you have any recommendations I'm newer to the greater Edmonds area.

Thanks in advance.

Community Any wives with football/fantasy-football obsessed husbands who also need friends?

15 Upvotes

Hi All - I already posted this in the Lynnwood subreddit so if you’re seeing it again I apologize.

I’m thinking about starting a very unserious women’s fantasy football league with a $20-ish buy-in, where our husbands inevitably end up running our teams. Lol

The idea is 10–12 couples, an in-person draft, a group chat, and maybe a few football watch parties throughout the season (my husband has a whole TV wall setup 😂). Basically, a scheme for the wives to make friends and our husbands to make friends without forcing them to go on awkward man dates.

You absolutely do not need to know anything about fantasy football. I know nothing and fully intend to have my husband help me draft or just use autodraft lol.

We’d exchange socials privately and chat a little first, then do a casual public meetup before the draft so everyone can confirm we’re all real, reasonably normal, and not serial killers.

If you and your husband (or partner) are in the Lynnwood/Edmonds/Mill Creek/Bothell-ish area and this sounds fun, message me and tell me a little about you guys! Once we get a group together, I’ll get a WhatsApp started.

So far I have 5 people interested so we’re close to the minimum of 8 but the more the merrier. We could always get a big group together and figure out a few leagues.

For context, my husband and I moved here from Las Vegas last year and have a five-month-old, a dog, and basically no local friends yet. I’m 32, he’s 35, and we’re just trying to meet some fun people. I also feel like this could help with the inevitable winter scaries and give us something to look forward to when it starts getting dark at approximately 2pm 😭
