The museum is in a Carnegie Library … important history to retain. They are an American treasure.
Other than public safety, what could be more important than learning/knowing about our community history. Without an appreciation of our heritage we are destined to repeat our mistakes of the past. Hard to believe this is even remotely possible.
As the descendant of the Ladner family, who came to Edmonds in 1936; my late Aunt Renee Pollock a dedicated docent of the Edmonds Museum; my parents Art and Sue Ladner Lowell;, and the home where now live; I sincerely hope that the future of the Edmonds Museum is preservation for years and generations to come.
Renee Pollock was a treasure within a treasure! Loved her so much! The Museum is a vital part of the community and the volunteers who dedicate their time are an extension of it. Can the future of the Museum & Society really be in question?
Thank you for the kind words Joni. She was a treasure!
I am unable to attend the meeting on August 15 so I will voice my opinion here. I support keeping and protecting this important landmark.
If this is a Carnegie library it should be put on the national historical society registry. It should not be torn down. Temporarily move town hall to another sight. Tear down the old one and rebuild it. But I don’t understand why this is even being considered with the money shortage the city is struggling with.
The Carnegie Library and the Museum are local treasures which should be preserved.
