Something About Edmonds
Edmonds is the
oldest incorporated city in Snohomish County. Logger George
Brackett founded Edmonds in 1890, naming the city either for
Vermont Sen. George Franklin Edmunds or in association with
the nearby Point Edmund, named by Charles Wilkes in 1841 and
later changed to Point Edwards. Brackett came to the future
site of Edmonds while paddling a canoe north of Seattle,
searching for timber. When a gust of wind hit his canoe,
Brackett beached in a location later called "Brackett's
Landing".
The town was
named Edmonds in 1884, but was not incorporated until 1890
as an official “village fourth class” of Snohomish County.
In that same year, Brackett sold 455 acres (1.84 km2) to the
Minneapolis Realty and Investment Company. The town was
plotted and a wharf was added along the waterfront. Modest
houses and commercial structures sprouted up with a row of
shingle mills dominating the cityscape.
In 1891, the
Great Northern Railroad came through and early settlers and
investors grew hopeful that Edmonds would prosper.
Unfortunately, the Panic of 1893 created business setbacks
and the town owners foreclosed. Brackett reclaimed his town
and along with other early settlers continued to develop its
infrastructure. By 1900 there was regular passenger ferry
service available by the steam-powered “mosquito fleet” of
private ferryboats from Edmonds to Seattle.
Edmonds
suffered major fires in 1909 and 1928, and many buildings
were lost. The first car arrived in Edmonds in 1911. As more
roads were established, Edmonds experienced steady growth
along with commercial and residential development.
