ARTS & CULTURE

Edmonds is home to Washington State's first designated Creative District. The community's significant commitment to art in all its forms brings out the best in performing, literary, visual, culinary & liquid arts.

Where else can you find a troupe of comedic, pliéing ballerinas, a world-renowned concert cellist retouching Bach, and a Spoken Word folk rapper dramatizing dystopian themes and 20th century capitalism? Only in Edmonds. Inquire within.

The good people of Edmonds look for art in the strangest places: a street corner, back alley, flower basket poles, fronting cafes and boutiques, a time-traveling mural next to a pub, walls and walls of changing scenery…expression gone wonderfully wild.

The City of Edmonds knows how to put on a show, attracting the biggest, brightest, and best to the stage. Audiences love their musical artists, and the feeling is mutual. All music is spoken here.

Edmonds is a writer’s paradise, waiting to be explored through its nationally known writer's conference, independent bookshops and an environment that brings out the creative spirit.

Transforming breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert into edible art, Edmonds chefs have created a culinary scene that is the best kept secret on the West Coast. Order up!

Edmonds is home to award-winning liquid artisans, a craft distiller, brew masters, cocktail specialists, and merchants pulling tabs and slinging suds, NW style. Cheers!

From forest to beach, there’s a nature walk for everyone to love in Edmonds. This guide focuses on nature walks that are family and dog-friendly, along with eats and drinks to grab before or to get after.

You don’t have to captain a vessel—or own one—to enjoy Edmonds by boat. Check out all the fun ways to get out on the water.

Get away from the stress by going solo: take long walks, look at art, gaze up at historic architecture you may have missed, blue jays and eagles, and be sure to bring your camera for all the great, Instagrammable shots.

Forget crowded malls and impersonal online shopping. Edmonds’ boutiques are a world unto themselves. Nowhere else can you find a dress, raincoat, or darling scarf that’s almost custom-made to order, just for you.

You don’t have to travel to Hawaii for the beach. Edmonds offers miles of bliss with four distinct beaches (Brackett’s Landing North and South, Olympic Beach, Marina Beach) — a marine sanctuary — and the infamous Underwater Park.

Edmonds is an art lover’s town, with galleries galore…and that’s not even including the sketches, photography, and watercolors rotating on the walls of restaurants and shops, or the many sculptures, murals, and flower box poles dotting the landscape, and of course, Main Street’s iconic water fountain.
