Results are in for the ninth annual Edmonds Scarecrow Festival hosted by the Edmonds Historical Museum. The museum received a total of 34 non-residential entries and 22 residential entries this year, said Emily Scott, this year’s Master of Crows and an Edmonds Museum board member. An increase in the number of unregistered scarecrows also dotted the Edmonds landscape, adding to the Halloween festivities.

“The Edmonds community showed an abundance of spooktacular spirit this Halloween season,” Scott said. “Residents and visitors love seeing our city transformed by this dash of fall whimsey. Especially since we are still not able to embrace pre-pandemic normality, having accessible events like this brings smiles to our community.”

The top vote-getter overall — based on those voting via the Edmonds Scarecrow Festival 2021 webpage — went to retail business entry “The Ent of Middle Edmonds” submitted by C’est La Vie. C’est La Vie also was awarded first place in the Retail Business category.

First-place winners in each Scarecrow Festival category received a certificate and Edmonds Museum goodie bag containing gift shop items and Edmonds Cash. For information on how to spend your local Edmonds Cash, go to edmondschamber.com/edmonds-cash.
