Jolie Elliott with her Eagle Scout award.
Edmonds resident Jolie Elliott, 19, of Troop 319 recently became the first female member of Scouts BSA (Boy Scouts of America) Salish Sea District to achieve the organization’s highest rank of Eagle Scout.
While she can appreciate that distinction, Elliott said she’s even more happy that other young women will soon be joining her in the accomplishment. “In my troop alone there’s three people working on their Eagle, and we all started at around the same time, it was just a stroke of luck that I happened to finish first,” she added. “So I’m just really excited to see all of the amazing people who will be getting this after me and it won’t actually be a big deal which is most exciting for me.”

“Your presence tonight…is a great deal of love embodied,” Pastor Ann Jacob said.
Dozens of people attended a “stop the hate” vigil at Edmonds United Methodist Church Wednesday night, standing in solidarity for the George Floyd family.
Floyd, a Black man, died May 25, 2020, after Derek Chauvin, a white Minneapolis police officer, knelt on his neck for almost 10 minutes, causing national and worldwide protests. Chauvin was found guilty of both murder and manslaughter April 20 and will be sentenced sometime next month.
With the theme, “where’s there’s people, there’s power,” the vigil was held outdoors on church grounds with social distancing in effect, and included outdoor activities based on understanding and ending racism.
