I am within walking distance to downtown Edmonds and ferries, railroads, buses, fire and police departments, parks, library, healthcare, restaurants, tourist/gift stores, church, beaches, and a small grocery store limited to non perishable goods.
My community is a suburban extension to Everett and Seattle and therefore has attracted working families and retired persons. This area was used as source of food for indigenous Salish tribes before the white Europeans settled by the water to set up logging and mills about 150 years ago. Whites predominated until transportation and employment opportunities allowed access to other population groups which still represent minority percentages over the last 30 years.
I live on a critical slope over railroad tracks and by a hazardous chemical clean up site overlooking a marsh.
Edmonds has grown toward the transportation systems: I5 and Highway 99. These areas do not have the same sense of community as does downtown Edmonds. Therefore, they are neglected as is shown by higher homeless and crime statistics. Edmonds used to be a sleepy little town but now competition for housing has made it difficult for a diversified community of renters and home owners. Folks are being priced out of their homes due to higher property taxes or purchase prices or rental rates.
