The recent photo shown here was taken looking east from Dayton Street towards 9th Avenue South and the possible site of the former burial grounds.
In an earlier Looking Back column regarding Edmonds when it was called The Ten-Mile Beach Settlement, the old Edmonds burial grounds were mentioned. The little that is known of the existence of that early unofficial cemetery can be found in Ray Cloud’s 1953 publication “Edmonds, The Gem of Puget Sound, A History of the City of Edmonds” and in the archived hard copies of the early Edmonds newspapers found at Sno-Isle Genealogical Society, located at Humble House in Heritage Park, Lynnwood.
Whitman County Commissioners discussed a possible upgrade to the IT system in the Whitman County Courthouse to increase the amount of available technology storage and replace 30-year-old fiber optic cables.
The fiber optics cables in the courthouse tend to have a 25-year lifespan, said Lance Bishop, information technology director for Whitman County. The cables are degraded and can only handle 10 gigabytes of storage. When they are replaced, about 40 gigabytes of storage will become available.
Bishop said he is considering moving some of the county’s overall storage into cloud storage, which would increase the county’s available storage. This would help store data from departments like the Whitman County Sheriff’s Office, which currently has over 14 terabytes of stored body camera footage.

Bill Anderson, 70, passed away on Tuesday after a long battle with cancer. Bill was well known in Edmonds for his knowledge and fabulous photos of the Edmonds Marsh and its wildlife. His almost weekly photographs in
My Edmonds News brought to life the diverse wildlife of the Edmonds Marsh (usually hidden to the naked eye). His generous contribution of wildlife photographs to a variety of venues to help educate the public was recognized by the City of Edmonds, with the mayor proclaiming Tuesday, Dec. 3, 2019 as Bill Anderson Day in Edmonds.
