The Edmonds Waterfront Center has added a new facilities manager, Jim Smith to their team.
Smith’s role will include overseeing the building management and maintenance, as well as technology and audiovisual systems used for programs and rentals at the new 26,000-square-foot Edmonds Waterfront Center.
“Up to this point our focus has been on constructing the building,” said Edmonds Waterfront Center CEO Daniel Johnson. “Now as we prepare to open to the public, we are shifting to making sure all the systems are operating at peak performance and Jim is just the man for the job.”

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.
