For great Seattle area waterfront homes, Edmonds WA has some amazing spaces and real estate!  Edmonds WA is a close in Northern Seattle suburb perched on the Puget Sound with easy commutes to both Seattle and Everett Washington.  Everett is one of the sunniest spots in the Seattle area and is known for its scenic views, gorgeous beaches, and wide open parks. 

Edmonds WA has some of the most beautiful Seattle area real estate and you can find amazing homes here with sweeping views and right next to Downtown Edmonds for restaurants, shopping, and a fabulous little movie theatre.  The shops around here pretty much cover everything you could ever be interested in making Edmonds WA a great self sustaining place to look at homes.

The waterfront here is one of my favorite spots.  Edmonds WA has a drive on ferry across the Puget Sound to the waterfront community of Kingston - this could be a great day trip from Downtown Edmonds, and just one more reason to love Edmonds real estate, whether you are wanting a large home on the hill or one of the great waterfront options. 

Edmonds has one of the most amazing underwater dive parks, too!  My diver friends rave about the sunken trail and the photos I have seen of the overall layout of the park are fascinating!  My favorite part, by far about the Edmonds WA waterfront, though, is the waterfront itself - the beach.  There are a few sections of it to choose from and a trail all along the waterfront for adventurers.  Edmonds waterfront also has an Anthony's and an Arnie's for great seafood waterfront dining.

Edmonds waterfront has a lot to offer and looking at real estate in this Seattle suburb is a great option - wonderful homes with great views!

Unfortunately, my husband fits into this category...

I am constantly trying to change that, but regardless this commercial from Pemco Insurance in Seattle was filmed in a house I sold last year!  This gorgeous view home was vacant while on the market and located in Edmonds overlooking the Puget Sound - one of the very coolest houses I have sold! 

The new owners even found a time capsule in the garden!  This commercial was very popular at the time that I sold the house and it continues to air quite often - even with my TIVO I bump into it at least once a week.  I smile every time:)

Edmonds Washington - Beach fun!

I love beaches and really love low tide.  My son was a little sick last week so we took some time and went out in the gorgeous sun and fresh air at Edmonds Beach - Brackett's Landing specifically.

  Here are some shots, but if you haven't been out there it is a great place to go hang out - there are restrooms, picnic tables, and more plus it is along the waterfront walkway that runs all along Edmonds next to the Puget Sound.  Dogs are not allowed at this beach, but it is still worth a trip! 

While you are here check out the floats all out on the water - this is an underwater dive park!  Also the ferry loading dock for the Kingston-Edmonds run is right here and fun to watch as the cars and people load and unload.  We found amazing and colorful starfish and more.

My Favorite Seattle Suburb Self Dog Grooming Place:

Edmonds Scrub-A-Pup 

180 W Dayton St #101 in Edmonds down by the waterfront.  425-775-7152

These guys are open 9-7 M-F and 9-5 on Sat for Dog Grooming, etc. with the last wash one hour prior to close (two hours in our case most likely).  They open at 7AM M-F for doggie daycare.  I noticed on their site that they offer dog classes, too.

Here is the Best Part: $20

$20 and they give you all you need!  A raised tub with convenient doggy walkway to get into it, soap, brushes, towels, and what we lack at home the most: giant blowers to get our BIG dogs clean.  So far, only David has visited there, but we plan to make our other Newfie a regular, too!

OK - I love this place!  I should tell you why I am so thrilled:  I have not one but TWO giant Newfoundland dogs - one of which is in the 200 pound range.  I keep nagging my husband to make some kind of doggy spa room in the house because it literally costs us about $400 a month to take the dogs to the groomers if we did it as regularly as they need it with all their hair.  The problem is that Newfies are very large and very hairy.  I literally vacuum twice a day to keep up with it and still end up with what I call dog hair tumbleweeds each time.  Drying out all that hair and undercoat is IMPOSSIBLE.  Enter Edmonds Scrub-A-Pup.

(By the way these guys also offer doggie day care, grooming, and a full line of quality dog products, too.)

Now keep in mind this was a washing not a hair cut which my big guy really needs, too:)  He is a clean giant fluff ball after and very happy!

Edmonds Wa is lucky enough to have Kafe Neo (best Edmonds Greek food!!!!) 

My husband and I have been buying Greek food here for about a decade.  They even cater and I had them cater our reception WAY BACK WHEN.  It is a family owned restaurant with sit down dining or quick take out.  If you are having a party or even a small dinner, give them a call and have them make the food for you.  It is unbelievably good and worth it!

Lots of choices...

I like Kafe Neo for its great vegetarian choices, but the restaurant is just as set up to please all of my carnivorous family members.  Edmonds has a lot of great restaurants - especially in the downtown Edmonds area, but Kafe Neo is not to be missed.  Kafe Neo is my pick for best Seattle suburbs Greek Food!

Bonus?  Dinner and live music every Sunday 5-8PM

Kafe Neo is located at 21108 Highway 99 in Edmonds Wa - Go try it out!

School is out around Puget Sound through the Seattle suburbs and Edmonds School District #15 ended their 2007-2008 school year today.  Congrats to all the graduates around Lynnwood, Edmonds, Brier, and Mountlake Terrace!  Have a safe summer!

Relocating between the the school years is pretty convenient for families with children - the transition into a new school can be much easier after settling into a new house.   I moved around a lot as a child and there are some tricks to helping children make those adjustments successfully.  Finding special activities to do during the summer is part of it.  My mother was always pretty good at making sure I got out there and met friends before school started.  If that isn't possible, then there are great activities going on at the library and parks.

Seattle suburb Edmonds, WA is breathtakingly gorgeous! 

Edmonds, Washington is artful in itself with its sweeping Puget Sound and Olympic Mountain views or its sandy beaches.  The whole town is on a downward sloping hill oriented towards the water and looking off to lovely Kingston and islands in the sound.  The port of Edmonds is filled with boats and there is a huge walking path throughout the town and waterfront.  Fresh seafood is plentiful and the sounds of the ferry boat whistle and the train just add to the ambiance. 

Seattle suburb Edmonds is filled with artful little shops and boutiques and there are some amazing restaurants as well.  Even if you aren't in the Seattle suburbs real estate market, Edmonds is worth a look.  You might find yourself falling in love with the quaint little downtown area or the sweeping parks and beaches.

One of the cool things Edmonds does as an ongoing event is a regular art walk.  It is a great way to get out there and see a sampling of what Edmonds, WA has to offer!

Walking and art?

Check out the Third Thursday Art Walk in Edmonds! 

An event to check out all the local artists and shops!  I can't think of any better way to take a walk around downtown Edmonds!  If you are an artist in Edmonds, it might be worth checking out!

Seattle area floods:  Seattle Suburb of Edmonds might have a remedy!  

Seattle real estate has been hit with flooding and the Seattle suburb of Edmonds, Wa had quite a bit of flood damage and not a lot of flood insurance.  As a result Mayor Haakenson proclaimed a "Local Emergency" for the town.  A local emergency status means that residents might be eligible for some reimbursement from the federal government for flood damage caused by this latest storm. 

If your home suffered damage as a result of the December 2nd and 3rd, 2007 storm from either rain or flood, contact info is below.
