Edmonds Apartments for Rent

Finding Your Apartment Style Digs In Edmonds

What began as a logging camp way back yonder is now a thriving waterside city of roughly 40,000. With a fairly high standard of living in addition to its picturesque landscape worthy of stained glass, aint' nobody gonna taint Edmonds' good name. The city today boasts of not only its internal amenities, but its external ones too. Its proximity to Seattle, Puget Sound, Vancouver (well kinda, it's 150 miles away), and Olympic Peninsula make it a destination for fascination.

That had a nice ring to it, if we say so ourselves. Go ahead and quote us on that. Edmonds can be proud of itself and its civic spirit, but be warned, one of the town's major issues apparently involves a perennially strife-inducing public fountain. We suppose there's just no getting around the human capacity for never saving the drama for one's mama.

Edmonds: Forever Green In The Evergreen State

The dirty little secret about Washington state is that it isn't always green, especially when you head to the eastern part of the state, where the likes of Yakima and Spokane will have you scratching your head in wonderment over the lack of pouring rain (and grunge music). But luckily that's not the case with the subject of our discussion here: Edmonds.

One thing you won't have trouble with when residing in the Edmonds area is getting to Seattle, the ""green giant"" to the south. At only about 15 minutes away from the place, Edmonds's got more suburban credibility than most. (Certainly more than Jarbrdige, Nevada, possibly the most remote town in the lower 48.) You can catch bus, train, ferry, and of course freeway down to the place where Frasier lived, and don't forget to grab yourself a cup of Seattle's best coffee (no, really) on the way.

The city describes themselves this way: "Edmonds is a highly desirable place to visit. Charming main streets fan out from a central fountain. Promenade around the circle and you'll stroll past sidewalk cafes, art galleries, gift shops, antique shops and bookstores. Spend the day in this very walkable community, where people still greet in passing."

That's nice, but if true a tad suspicious. We'd ask what's in the water, but given the abundant sources of h2o available via ground, sea, and air, tracking down the culprit may be a lost cause.

Edmonds is served by two local newspapers, the Edmonds Beacon (perhaps inspired by the lighthouses that lavish the area) and the Edmonds Enterprise. The latter was founded by some local Star Trek fans with journalism degrees and an out this world sense of civic pride. Just kidding. In any case, between these two servers of ice cold inside scoops the town is handily doing its thing for the fourth estate.

Edmonds And You: Time To Get Up And Get Out

Recreationally speaking, Edmonds's got the goods. Between a dog park, a skate park (""yippee!"" scream the teens), and an underwater scuba joint - as if there'd be any other kind, come to think of it - the city is set to keep pet lovers, alienated youth, and wannabe Navy Seals more than content. Speaking of dogs, go chew on this to learn more about what town has to offer.

Fan of the arts, and bohemian stuff in general? That's what we thought. You'll be delighted to learn that the Edmond Center for the Arts will soon be hosting a sing-a-long to the Sound of Music. Oh, and Rick Steves of travel guru fame will soon be making an appearance there too.

Don't look so glum. He's hipper than you think.

Even more cultural consumption can be had at the Edmonds Arts Festival, held every year around Father's Day and with a big focus on the visual arts. But be warned, most of the artists are local students, not international stars of coal and canvas, so we hope the amateur thing is, well, your thing.
