Edmonds Memorial Cemetery
After pausing last year’s annual event due to COVID-19, the Edmonds Memorial Cemetery Board is resuming the free Walk Back in Time event on Thursday, July 22 at 1 p.m. This public event will take a look at how the pandemic of 1918 impacted the small community of Edmonds, as told through the lives of five residents buried in the historic cemetery: a mill worker, a newlywed, a farmer, a mother of six, and a Freemason.
Guests can find out more about how the backdrop of WWI set the stage for this tragic event, which caused the loss of at least 50 million people across the globe, and how the residents of Edmonds responded. While our communities are returning to normal, we once again come together to take note of our local history with eyes toward the future.

When the little village of Edmonds incorporated as a fourth-class town in August of 1890, even though there had been some hard times, the residents must have been filled with hope that the final decade of the 19th century would bring prosperity, growth and some needed culture to their community.
Certainly, at 5 o’clock in the evening on June 17, 1891, when the Great Northern track-laying engine rounded Point Edwards and came into view, the residents of Edmonds must have realized they were going to have a long-anticipated railroad connection to the outside world. Surely, it would help lead the way to prosperity.
