Your Edmonds Real Estate Agent

Edmonds Real Estate Agent: Emily Cressey

By Emily Cressey, Broker, HomePro Associates at Keller Williams Greater Seattle. Updated October 2026.

Edmonds is just up the shoreline from where I grew up in Shoreline and Richmond Beach, and it has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I love the Art Walk, the waterfront and the ferry to the Kitsap side.

I have listed homes in Edmonds, and I know how much the view, the street and the walk to downtown can change a price here.

Is Edmonds Worth It?

Here is my take on living in Edmonds, the pros and the cons, from the ferry lines to the beach.

What Is Edmonds Really Like?

Edmonds is a small waterfront city on Puget Sound, about 30 to 50 minutes north of downtown Seattle depending on I-5. Downtown, which locals call “the bowl,” slopes down to the ferry dock. It is walkable, full of small shops and restaurants, and it feels more like a small town than a suburb.

The ferry to Kingston leaves from downtown, so you can be on the Kitsap Peninsula in about half an hour. The flip side is ferry traffic. On sunny summer weekends and holidays, the line can back up for hours. If you are buying near the terminal, look at the house on a Friday afternoon in July.

The Edmonds Art Walk

Every third Thursday, downtown Edmonds turns into an art walk. Galleries stay open late, artists set up outside and the restaurants fill up. Edmonds was the first Certified Creative District in Washington, and you feel it in the murals and sculptures around town. The Edmonds Center for the Arts hosts concerts and shows year round.

The Waterfront

• Brackett’s Landing: beaches on both sides of the ferry dock.
• Edmonds Underwater Park: one of the most popular dive sites in the state.
• Off-leash dog beach: at the south end of the waterfront walk.
• Meadowdale Beach Park: a forest trail down to the water on the north side.

Edmonds Neighborhoods and Homes

• The bowl: walkable to downtown and the ferry, with many view homes and condos.
• Seaview and Meadowdale: hillside homes, many with Sound and mountain views.
• Perrinville and Lake Ballinger: quieter neighborhoods with more mid-century homes. See my Perrinville guide.
• Westgate and Five Corners: closer to shopping, with ramblers and split-levels.
• Highway 99: busier, with condos and more approachable prices.

How I Help Edmonds Sellers

In Edmonds, the view often drives the price. I will help you photograph and describe your view accurately, and I price against homes with a similar view, not just a similar size.

For condos in the bowl, I pull HOA documents early so buyers feel confident, and I time showings to make the most of the light.

How I Sell Your Home: The A-PLUS Method

Every listing I take follows the same five steps. It is the system I wrote up in my free A-PLUS seller guide, and it is how I keep a sale organized when life is anything but.

Buying in Edmonds

Edmonds attracts buyers who want walkability and water without living in the city. Prices reflect that. I will help you decide which matters more: the view, the walk to downtown, or the yard. You may not get all three at your budget, so let’s rank them before you fall for a house.

Edmonds Real Estate Questions

How long is the commute from Edmonds to Seattle?

About 30 to 50 minutes by car, depending on I-5. The Sounder train stops in downtown Edmonds, and light rail is nearby at Mountlake Terrace and Lynnwood.

Is a view home in Edmonds worth the extra cost?

It depends on how you will use the home and how long you will stay. View homes tend to hold their appeal, but they cost more to buy. I will help you compare.

Which school district serves Edmonds?

The Edmonds School District. Confirm the school assignment for each address.

What is the Edmonds Art Walk?

A monthly evening event on the third Thursday, when downtown galleries and shops stay open late and local artists show their work.

What other areas do you serve?

I serve King, Pierce and Snohomish Counties, with a focus on Shoreline, Lake Forest Park, Kenmore, Bothell, Lynnwood and north Seattle.
