Hundreds of people reveled in perfect weather and celebrated the signs of the oncoming fall at Perrinville Palooza on Saturday, Oct. 7.
The event — held on 76th Avenue West in the Perrinville neighborhood of Edmonds — featured a streetside pumpkin patch with pumpkins, hay bales, a photo booth and fall decorations. In addition, there were food trucks, numerous vendors, games, s’mores being prepared right in the street and hours of live music.
The event was sponsored by the City of Edmonds as part of the Reimagining Neighborhoods and Streets program (https://www.edmondswa.gov/government/departments/development_services/planning_division/redefining_streets___public_spaces).

Fantastic event! As it continues to grow in attendance someone is definitely needed to ensure pedestrian safety at the Olympic View and 76th street intersection. I observed a couple of near misses as traffic backed up and attendees were not paying attention.
Yes, It sounds like a great event to me. Maybe some volunteers to caution attendees to be careful etc. I don’t suppose they could actually be crossing guards, but volunteers stationed at areas of concern wouldn’t be a liability issue. I will check out your event next year. Perrinville was a spot where I did see a dentist and used the PO some years ago. I was always amazed at how much land was there and how nice and remote it was. I think it is great that so much has changed. The annual event for Christmas I read about and all sounds great too. I am going to drive up there and check it all out. I hear there is a great bakery too. Time to go see it for myself. Good luck. Congratulations on a successful event.
Regarding the crossing, you can see what it’s like from a few I took here earlier in the day around 10:25am. It was already somewhat heavy with traffic.
Having some crossing guards sounds like a good idea.

The Edmonds Palooza was a wonderful event bringing out many families, children and seniors.
Living in Edmonds for over 40 years is a city and community like no other. I’m very proud to live here.
To see hundreds of smiling joyful adults, children and pets enjoying a beautiful autumn day priceless. A big shout out to all the venders that provided their time many free attractions for the children and families. I look forward to watching these events in Edmonds and other communities unfold to bring us all together.
