In the last [...]Sisters join forces to run food drive
Edmonds resident Heather Bansemers 14-year-old daughter, Lainey, had a special request a couple of weeks ago: She wanted to run a food drive at PCC in Edmonds to benefit The Bread of Life Mission in Seattle, an organization where the family volunteers once a month.

"A life-changing experience." "A reality check." "Lots of joy and lots of sadness." Thats how two volunteers with Edmonds connections described their recent trips to Haiti, where they provided medical care, food and even a shoulder to cry on to victims of the devastating 7.0 earthquake that struck the island nation in January. My Edmonds [...]Edmonds man’s inventions keep injured people moving
When Edmonds resident and gymnastics coach Patty-Steele Smith injured her knee, husband Joel Smith did more than offer sympathy: He created a prosthetic that transferred her body weight to her upper leg, allowing her to ditch her crutches so she could remain mobile and continue coaching. The device worked so well for his wife that [...]National Wildlife Federation presents Service Award to local volunteer

One tragic result of the recent earthquake in Haiti is the number of children left not only without homes, but without parents.

So when [...]Edmonds-Woodway classes of ’06, ’07 meet for holiday football tradition
Edmonds-Woodway graduates from the classes of 2006 and 2007 Tuesday morning continued their tradition of gathering at the high school during the holidays for a friendly game of football.
