Both Brad Holden’s and Byron Wilkes’s articles are interesting concerning the property on 220th Street. It’s history, or the possible history of the building and property, has been rumored for all of the years I have lived in Edmonds since 1971. I became familiar with the building when it was the Aurora Edmonds Nursing Home in the 1980’s. Several groups became involved with it and contributed all sorts of donations to the establishment. Youth groups would bake goodies and make cards for the residents. Analia Chapter, Eastern Star adopted the establishment for several years. One of members, a retired nurse, worked there. She kept us informed of items they needed. We baked goodies and donated clothing, puzzles and games and numerous other items for the residents. We made decorations for the holidays, on and on. Each month for several years, I delivered the items. The seniors were well taken care of. Of that part of the building’s history, I can confirm. Thank you, Brad and Byron for your articles.
