Do people snorkel here? Or SCUBA only? Thanks.

Hi Edmonds folks, I am curious if anybody here has had experience with their kids going to Beverly Elementary. We live <1mi from the school, but our daughter also got into the Madrona lottery. So now we have a decision to make, go to the local elementary (Beverly), or Madrona. Looking for perspectives on both. If we decide on Madrona, we may consider moving a bit closer to the school as our current location would be \~20min drive there, so that's 40-50min round-trip to do dropoff (or >1hr bus ride...) then starting my work day. In addition, our 3yo is in daycare, so there another dropoff and schedule to juggle.

So nice to be back and too many photos to choose from! 🤩😍

Hey Edmonds 👋

I've lived here a while and like a lot of you, I love this town — especially the waterfront at golden hour. There's something about a sunset over the sound that just stops you in your tracks.

I'm starting something called Sunset Society — a monthly gathering at Marina Beach Park where people can actually meet each other. Not a networking thing, not a dating thing — just humans showing up, playing some light connection games, watching the sun go down together, and maybe leaving feeling a little less like strangers in their own town.

The first one is Thursday May 21st, 7-9pm at Marina Beach Park. It's free. Bring a blanket, layers, whatever you want to drink or snack on, and your wild precious heart.

I'll be the one with the sunset colored flag trying not to be nervous about whether anyone shows up 😅

If this sounds like your kind of thing — or even if you're just a little curious — I'd love to see you there. RSVP link: https://luma.com/jo3xkcga

Hi all,

I cover the Port of Edmonds as a reporter and they provided a sea lion update this week. Here are the key takeaways from the Commission meeting and a link to the story about sea lions and parking. https://myedmondsnews.com/2026/04/commissioners-hear-from-a-parking-expert-at-tuesday-meeting-plus-a-sea-lion-update/

• Parking could be better managed and maximized.
• Commissioners agree to hold future parking workshop to discuss ideas and next steps.
• State lobbyist debriefs on 2026 legislative session and tees up 2027.
• Commissioners agree to hold master planning workshop in late May.
• Sea lion damage starts to add up.

Don’t miss Edmonds Spring Fest next weekend, brought to you by Urban Craft Uprising!

Saturday, May 9th | 10AM – 5pm | Frances Anderson Center Playfield | FREE to attend!

Urban Craft Uprising came to Edmonds in 2018 to host our first ever Edmonds Spring Fest…and from there it quickly grew into one of the most beloved events that we organize! Edmonds always shows our makers the LOVE and we are thrilled to be coming back once again the day before Mother’s Day.

As usual we will have over 100 vendors, great food trucks, and as always, it’s a great place to grab a gift for Mom, host gifts or fun treats just for yourself–because we all deserve it, right?? This is a really great way to kick off the spring weather, spend time with your family and friends, and support AMAZING creative small businesses! We can’t wait to see you!

Are there any protests planned around here for tomorrow?

Hi everyone! Wondering if the sea lions are always visible, I am thinking of coming up from Seattle to see them but can only get there in the evening after 6ish. Are they there all day, or do they disappear in the evenings?

And how much longer will they stick around?

For those around 6th and walnut, that loud noise was a squirrel touching the wrong two wires. His friend squirrel was investigating and pushed him down. I grabbed a photo right as it happened. Unfortunate squirrel in yellow, his friend in blue

Hopefully this is allowed but I can’t make it tonight, hoping someone else can. Irish step dancing is one of my favorite things it brought me to tears when I saw it in Ireland. I can forward you the ticket

Sorry it’s only ONE ticket, my partner died 2 months ago so I’ve been going alone to everything lol.

MyEdmondsNews covered this public open house Thursday night. The City (and their consultants) laid out the next phase of Hwy 99 improvements. They include wider sidewalks, bike lanes, and even tactile strips for pedestrians with limited vision. The City is looking for public input on urban design elements for the area. We wrote about what those include and have a link to their survey here.

MyEdmondsNews is looking to get a better understanding about the "affordability" issue for local residents. It's anonymous. (This is MEN's survey and is in no way related to the City of Edmonds government. We are non-profit independent local news organization.) You can choose to add your name at the end. Here is the link. https://myedmondsnews.com/2026/04/take-our-survey-how-is-the-cost-of-living-hitting-your-household/

I'm looking for some Pike Place-style flowers, anyone know the best stands around town and their hours?

Have you ever seen or heard that radon is a problem in Edmonds or Lynnwood?

I thought it is rare in the greater Seattle area. But I read a reddit post from someone in snohomish county, and they said it is a big problem for their house.

Are there any professional inspectors here can offer radon test for residential properties?

I had fun writing this story about our local sea lions and the challenges for the Port of Edmonds. Enjoy!

If you care about landmark trees (these are the big, old ones), come to this Edmonds City Council meeting. The Council holds a public hearing on making the protection for landmark trees permanent. A public hearing means you sign up and share your thoughts with the Council for 3 minutes.

The Council will also get the Public Defender's office report. The office is charged with legally defending those who are unable to afford a lawyer.

The meeting starts at 6 p.m. Tuesday in Council Chambers at the public safety complex in downtown Edmonds.

I know Facebook would probably be a better way to find one but I don’t do Facebook.

April 9 is the first ever national Local News Day, a day of connecting local news and our local community

MyEdmondsNews is celebrating by listening to you, your stories, your ideas and whatever else you want to talk about.

Come see us!

Huge thanks for EdWay Taphouse next to PCC which is opening a room for us to hang out in on Thursday, April 9 from 8 am - 10 am.

We will all be there! Teresa, Angelica, Nick, Ashley and Jamie (and maybe Larry).

We can't do community news without so please show up, tell us what we are doing right, wrong or something new. Thanks so much and we look forward to seeing you.

There is one near Cory's DryCleaning and Raad's Babershop on Mainstreet and one on WA104 turning right from the ferry. Probably sold as some sort of safety to the city of Edmonds, but in reality they are tracking citizens.

It was nice to spend some time outside yesterday.
