We stayed in Edmunds while in the area for a weekend of ball games. It’s a cute little town with a great promenade along the water with a great little playground for the kiddos! You can watch the ferry’s and other boats enjoy time at the beach and park area! It would be a great place to spend a relaxing afternoon with a picnic outside the hustle of Seattle

Made the approximate 1 mile hike on a beautiful (and rare) sunny day in October. A quick drive through towns (and a neighborhood) leads you to a nice little parking lot....emphasis on small. There are signs saying that if you aren't parked in a stall, you may get towed. The hike down is very nice with a variety of different trees. Wear good shoes because the trail is gravel covered and steep. Poor fitting shoes will warm up your feet. The beach is very nice in a Pacific Northwest type of way. We didn't get to experience it, but a lot of people were heading down to the beach to catch sunset as we were leaving. The hike up is very steep (although relatively short) so you want to be ready for that. It was a great hike that I'll repeat if we are in that neck of the woods again. There are portable bathrooms at the top and bottom for those in need.

The fishing pier is the happening place in Edmonds. Plenty of fisher-people, and their children, structures for fish cleaning, and a great stop to see Edmond's iconic silver fish flying between the walk out to the pier and the ferry boat landing. Walk from Marina Park all the way down Sunset Avenue, and back, note the public art (bronze seals, families, children in boat, etc) and watch the sun set over the Olympics. A little bit of heaver on earth.

It was raining so we popped into this waterfront museum for a visit. We viewed some interesting art and I understand that this museum opened relatively recently so I assume that the collection will grow and improve over time.

Picture this: catch racket (or stick with a basket) + Bump cars + goal = Fun!
Sure, the place might look like a blast from the past -- but let's face it, people in the 80's had more fun. We used our hands and we played with friends (not virtually)!
Each round/game is about 15 minutes with 5 players each team. You are awarded scores not just by shooting through the goal (using a racket) while driving a bump car but also from various penalties.
Have some friends who are quiet and shy and lo and behold the aggressive side appeared during the match.
Great for families, friends or even corporate team buildings.
Food and drinks are available.

We stumble on this downtown museum while exploring the street market. The main entrance is up the stone front stairs of this brick old city hall and jail building that was also a library. Admission is free but donations are always welcomed. A staff person gave us a bit of Edmonds’ history while my granddaughter drew a picture of a salmon with the assist of her grandmother and it was posted on the wall above the laptop. The downstairs portion of the museum however was certainly the highlight of the tour. There is an old jail cell located in a corner. There’s a miniature display of the historical town of Edmonds with a miniature train set, period clothing and outfits, antique household and office items, vintage telephones, and a reconstructed room from the 1890’s. My granddaughter especially enjoyed the hands on waterfront display and the old wall telephones. We spent at a good amount of time exploring the several rooms of displays, vintage clothing and charming history of the old Edmond City Hall. This is a must see when exploring Edmonds.

We are a professional, non-equity theatre in Edmonds, WA, 20 minutes out of Seattle. We perform first rate comedies all year long with top Puget Sound actors, directors and theatre artists! Plenty of free parking!

I've been coming to the Phoenix theater for more than a decade. I always enjoy myself. Small intimate space with absolutely no bad seats. They do mostly comedies so if you want to forget the troubles of the day, this is the place to be.We are so glad to hear about your great experience and hope to keep seeing you at The Phoenix!
