These are lovely and exceptional photos of the Edmonds area. I always appreciate the “view through the camera lens” from the eye of someone who is not a local resident. Stephanie’s photos have reminded me of why I live here and how much I have to be grateful for! Thank you!
Lovely photos! Thank you for sharing and I hope your time in Edmonds was enjoyable.
Well done!
Great pictures.

Wow, great eyes to see the beautiful around an area, and a great photographer! Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful photos of our area. Thank you for sharing. I hope your stay was great!!!
Awesome photos
Fabulous photos, all wonderful but the first three really blew me away, These images would make me want to live here if I didn’t already and wonder how much Stephanie may miss Edmonds when she returns home but thank you for sharing.
Spectacular! Thank you for sharing! We hope to see Edmonds through your lens again!
Gorgeous photos! My father was from Missouri. On a trip back there with my daughter (her first time in Missouri) the first day there we were in parking lot. My daughter got out of the car, looked at the horizon and said, “There’s so much…sky.” She was used to our mountains, trees, and hills that provide us with our textured and multi-dimensional vistas. Seeing sky, with no clouds, touching the flat surface as far as we could see was a new, and startling experience.
I grew up in a town of 5,682 people in MO. I left there at 23. The rolling green hills and the trees and farms and nice ponds are really pretty and yeah the big sky is wonderful and full of stars at night. I have friends that own a lot of land and used to farm but now they just enjoy it. They have a rope swing in their back yard, and I love to sit there and look out over the land. I can sit there forever. Frogs at night croaking and lightning bugs all over the place. Of course there are mosquitos. No mosquitos and no poisonous bugs and no poisonous snakes fascinated me when I moved out here 36 years ago. I have a small painting done by a friend of a young woman in a dress swinging in a rope swing. I love it. Now I will say that as much as I enjoy home and all that WA state is to me the most beautiful state in the country. I sure hope some way we can preserve it.
Oh; Just great! Now we will have half of St. Louis MO. trying to move here. Good thing we are going to be building 13,000 new affordable homes real soon. Seriously, there is great beauty in all of the mid-west, even some of the last of the tall grass Prairie lands in Kansas that haven’t been tilled. The Sand Hill country in Nebraska is wide open spaces and beautiful. Fishing and boating on the huge reservoirs on the Missouri River in South Dakota is a world class experience. It’s a shame more people are leaving there than moving there – where there is actually space and a much lower cost of living in general.
Correction “9000” new affordable homes for 13000 people.
Ha Ha. Sorry Clinton. I would love it if some of my friends and family would move here but I have tried and it’s not gonna happen. Ha. It’s hard for me to not say what I am thinking haha. It’s sort of physically painful! But today I am concentrating on the spring move winter clothes to back closets and spring and summer to main closets! I am also gathering clothing I am not wearing and shoes galore ha to take to Good Will. Now this requires major concentration and I find this busy work very cathartic. I would love to talk to you in person Clinton. I think we could yuck it up pretty good!
Our city is tasked with growing our population by 13,000 in the next 20 years. Our population has only grown by 3,000 in the last 20 years, and is currently slightly below what it was in 2020. Has anyone learned what assumptions were used to determine the figure of 13,000? Clearly that figure must be challenged before the zoning in our city is screwed up. My belief is that the figure is a target and not a projection and has been chosen to justify the zoning changes.
Ron, my take on this is that it is a poorly thought out perversion or extension of the Growth Management Act that was originally intended to prevent rural Snohomish, King, Skagit and Whatcom Counties from suffering the same fate as rural King County. I have friends from Arlington that helped spearhead that law. Since the new housing laws are mostly the brainchild of our state Democratic Party, I’m really afraid the Party activists we’ve got on our City Council now will give little thought to the environmental factors that our city should put way ahead of just passive compliance no matter what the possible consequences. We might lose, but if we don’t fight the bully we are sure to lose.
From what I know, the County/State is disproportionately trying to cram folks in here because of all our transit:trains, ferry, light rail, hiway 99 and 104 etc. We’ve gotten a disproportionate amount of the population increase for the entire county.
I don’t agree with them!
