Before Edmonds became a town, it was a forest of cedar trees and evergreens. The Puget Sound's various Indian tribes used the land for camping, the sea for fishing and clamming for meals, and the marshes for harvesting tules that they used to weave into items such as mats and baskets. Later, the area became known as Brackett's Landing, named after the man who began logging the forest and founded the town of Edmonds in 1890 and opened its first mills and schools. The Great Northern Railway arrived in 1891, bringing with it great prospects for commercial and residential prosperity. As the young town grew into a city, it thrived because of its location on the water. Private ferry boats called the Mosquito Fleet came from Seattle, and to this day, commercial and passenger ferries cross the Puget Sound to the Port of Edmonds, Kingston, and the rest of the Olympic peninsula.

DuBois, Sara McGibbon: - Sara McGibbon DuBois grew up in Edmonds and recalls that it was the perfect small town in which to spend one's childhood. She and her husband, Ray E. DuBois, collected the photographs for this book from the Edmonds Historical Museum and from other local museums and libraries. Readers will enjoy a glimpse of Edmonds as it once was and, like the authors, can experience the nostalgic feeling of coming home again.
