In the summer of 1890, when Edmonds was incorporating, the Schumacher brothers (William and Roy) finished erecting a building on what was then the corner of Fourth (Groceries) and George Street, to house their grocery business. Note: George Street was later renamed Main Street, and Fourth (Groceries) was replaced by new buildings. Fourth Street as we know it today was built further east in later years.

For more than a decade, a special energy spilled into the streets at 5th and Main. It filled the fountain plaza with magic, whimsy, color, texture, surprise and an intangible something that kept us coming back for more. The source: the ever-changing tableau of the Sound Styles display windows, the product of the fertile mind and imagination of window dresser Shelly Hampton Simmons.

When we moved to Edmonds, one of the moving company employees taught us about “An Edmonds Kind of Day.” It was also March and one of the faux spring days we’ve been experiencing and at that time, it didn’t mean much since we were new to Edmonds and mostly knew about the gray days and socked-in waterfront. A little less than 20 years later, we get what they meant, even though I think it changes with time. The recent sunny weather has highlighted what makes the location beautiful, of course, but the abundance of my two current hyperfocuses — art and birds — and Edmonds being the state’s first Creative District and the home of Puget Sound Bird Fest is really driving it home.

With great sorrow, we announce the passing of Kerry Rae St.Denis, our loving, generous, and incredibly compassionate wife, mother, grandmother (Nana), sister, and daughter. Born in Seattle, WA, Kerry was raised in Edmonds as an only child after the passing of her younger brother, Christopher. But being an only child never stopped Kerry from adventure and exploration, whether playing outside with her cow, Bossy, or riding bikes and horses with friends. She found her independence and vibrancy early in life, which became two of her defining characteristics.

Arnie Lund shared this photo of singer John McCutcheon performing at the Edmonds Center for the Arts Saturday, March 25. The artist, Lund said, “is one of the leading folk singers in the world today and has collaborated with John Prine, Tom Paxton and others. He writes most of the music he performs, he told stories and he played a variety of traditional instruments, including a lovely hammer dulcimer. During his nearly three-hour concert, he made the audience laugh and cry, and moved us.”
