Like many towns in the Pacific Northwest, Edmonds has a strong link to the water. It is believed that the Suquamish people frequently fished the waters and scoured the beaches for shellfish. European-American settlers did not come to Edmonds until the 1860s. The water provided many opportunities, but also isolated the area (as did the surrounding hills) so settlers faced challenges early on. The town’s settlement began in 1870 when a logger named George Brackett—who was considered by many to be the “founder of Edmonds” — discovered the town site by canoe. He, along with other important figures, helped build the early town.
By 1884, the area had a post office and an organized school system, and had been platted and officially named. Edmonds was incorporated in 1890, and the railroad came the next year. People also came by steamboat, but it wasn’t until 1900 that regular passenger ferry service came to Edmonds.
