Edmonds Historical Museum volunteers on Monday installed commemorative bricks in the museum’s plaza — the first installation for 2025.

The team included Kevin Fagerstrom, Dean Larsen (who was there on his birthday), David Kuhlmann and Plaza Brick Project Coordinator Sharon McAllister.

Bricks can be purchased to honor, memorialize and appreciate your friends and family members on the museum plaza, located on 5th Avenue near Bell Street.

“Bricks are on sale now for our fall installation,” McAllister said. You can learn more here.

 

  1. This is a great concept, but it would be nice if the existing bricks could be maintained. In particular, many of the expensive grey $1,000 bricks have kist readability. Those were purchased with the believe they would last. Something is needed to honor those who stepped up to the highest levels of support. Please have them periodically retouched or replaced so they are as readable as the less expensive bricks.

    1. I can’t believe my typos. “Lost,” not “kist,” snd “belief,” not “believe.” Autocorrect or fat fingers? Sorry I didn’t catch those.

  2. Thank you for your comments Bruce. Yes, it would look so much better to have the bricks maintained and readable! All of the pavers should last, and not just the pavers we recently purchased.
