The Edmonds Waterfront Center’s virtual opening last month raised $111,000 for the new facility.
As reported in our earlier story, the virtual opening on April 22 Earth Day drew 500 attendees, and began with a video created by guest speaker and leading Waterfront Center supporter Rick Steves.
“Earth Day is a fitting day for this event given the LEED Gold certification and many green features of the new center,” Steves said.
During the video, Steves reviewed the roots of Edmonds’ commitment to its seniors, going back more than 50 years to the original Edmonds Senior Center and how this evolved into today’s new multi-generational Waterfront Center.
