Edmonds incorporated in 1890, and the 2020 Census counted 42,853 residents. Downtown sits in a valley locals call the Bowl, around the Kingston ferry dock. The city reached SR 99 in 1959 and the King County line through annexations from 1995 to 1997 (Wikipedia).

Edmonds neighborhoods and what we look at in each

Downtown and the Bowl

The Bowl climbs from the ferry dock at the foot of Main Street. RexMont lists mid century view homes, updated Craftsman bungalows and newer houses built for the water. One street can split an Olympics view from a roofline view, so we rate the view from inside each home.

Point Edwards

These condominiums sit on the upper yard of the old Unocal fuel terminal (1923 to 1991), where Washington Ecology says cleanup finished in 2003. Unit floor, view direction and HOA reserves drive value, so resales inside the project come first.

Seaview

RexMont places Seaview on the bluff south of downtown, mostly mid century houses with some remodels and infill. Some lots look west to the Olympics and interior lots do not, so we compare both kinds of sales before setting a view adjustment.

North Meadowdale slopes

The city regulates this steep north end as the Meadowdale earth subsidence landslide hazard area, and the Daily Herald reported hillside homes slid there in the winter of 1996 to 1997. We note drainage, geotechnical reports and permits, then compare with other slope lots.

Perrinville

Gertie Perrin founded Perrinville in 1938 at 76th Avenue West and Olympic View Drive. Its southeast part is inside Lynnwood, so we confirm the parcel's city first: zoning and permit records come from that city.

More Edmonds neighborhoods and nearby pockets

  • Firdale Firdale Village anchors the south end near Woodway and the Shoreline line; Edmonds annexed its southern neighborhoods from 1995 to 1997, so older permits may be county records.
  • Westgate The business district on Edmonds Way has had its own mixed use zone since 2015, so we check what the zoning allows next door to the home.
  • Five Corners A central crossroads with its own commercial center; per the city's study page, the district is still under consideration for rezoning.
  • Talbot Park A small bluff neighborhood north of downtown with view lots, where we look at slope, access and how much of the Sound each window shows.
  • Maplewood Set around Maplewood Park and the hill east of the Bowl, with larger lots, mature trees and houses from several building eras.
  • Yost Park Wooded streets east of the Bowl around Yost Park and its pool, where a ravine or tall firs at the lot line go into the site description.
  • Sherwood A southwest Edmonds area with its own small commercial center and houses from several decades, compared first with sales on similar lots nearby.
  • College Place East Edmonds near Five Corners, where houses share blocks with condos and townhomes, so attached and detached sales stay in separate grids.
  • Lake Ballinger (west shore) Edmonds holds the west side of this 103 acre lake and Mountlake Terrace the east, so a lakefront parcel is checked for city, frontage and access.
  • Highway 99 corridor The city's eastern edge since 1959, covered by a 2017 subarea plan; arterial noise and the mix of apartments and older houses shape comp choice here.
  • Esperance (unincorporated) A 0.73 square mile county enclave in the southeast, home to 4,007 people in 2020, whose voters have turned down joining Edmonds five times.
  • Meadowdale (unincorporated) North of the city line to 148th Street SW, outside Edmonds but using Edmonds mailing addresses, so we label county sales as county sales.

What moves home values in Edmonds?

View and ground come first. Edmonds has 5 miles of Puget Sound shoreline, and city code treats a 40 percent slope as a landslide hazard (ECDC 23.10.610). Then condition, condo or house, and the city line: Esperance, Meadowdale, Perrinville and Woodway all share Edmonds addresses or borders.

Questions Edmonds homeowners ask us

What will an Edmonds appraisal cost, and when will I get it?
We quote each home, since the fee depends on the property and the scope. Expect the finished report in about 7 to 10 days, on a date we name up front. Use the address box above or phone (425) 967-3498.
Can I hire you for my Edmonds home without a lender?
Yes. Owners, executors and attorneys order directly for estates, divorce, pre listing pricing, tax appeals and relocation. A loan appraisal is ordered by the lender.
How do you appraise an Edmonds view or bluff home?
We rate the view from inside the home (Sound, Olympics, ferry or territorial) and note slope and drainage, then adjust only as far as sales with similar views and ground show.
Do you handle Edmonds condos and townhomes?
Yes. Our team is very experienced with townhomes, condos and every attached dwelling type, from Point Edwards units above the marina to College Place townhomes. HOA dues, reserves and unit position go into every attached report.
Which school district covers Edmonds?
Edmonds School District serves the whole city, plus Lynnwood, Mountlake Terrace, Woodway and Brier. In Esperance or Meadowdale, outside city limits, confirm the district by address.
