When the little village of Edmonds incorporated as a fourth-class town in August of 1890, even though there had been some hard times, the residents must have been filled with hope that the final decade of the 19th century would bring prosperity, growth and some needed culture to their community.
Certainly, at 5 o’clock in the evening on June 17, 1891, when the Great Northern track-laying engine rounded Point Edwards and came into view, the residents of Edmonds must have realized they were going to have a long-anticipated railroad connection to the outside world. Surely, it would help lead the way to prosperity.

Author David B. Williams' at Richmond Beach in Shoreline; his new book is called "Homewaters: A Human and Natural History of Puget Sound." (Feliks Banel/KIRO Radio)
It’s been a transportation system and a source of food, and it’s a body of water that underpins thousands of years of history and culture in this area. And now, Puget Sound is the focus of an ambitious new history book.
The book from is from UW Press and is called
What’s now called Puget Sound – known as “Whulge” in the Indigenous Lushootseed language – was created by glaciers about 15,000 years ago. That’s a lot of history, and a lot of ground (or water) to cover, which Williams deftly approaches from several directions via multiple scientific and cultural disciplines. The result is a highly readable and enjoyable account that connects seemingly disparate threads and weaves together a complex mix of science and humanities that’s greater than the sum of its parts – much like Puget Sound history itself.

Heavier rainfall to cost Seattle area billions to avoid sewage spills Apr 07, 2021
More-intense storms are expected to cost the Seattle area billions of dollars in coming decades â and that doesn't include the potential for more flooding or landslides.
The extra billions would be needed to build sewage treatment plants big enough to handle heavier runoff as the climate changes.
King County is already in doo-doo for not doing enough to keep raw sewage from pouring into local waters after big storms.
In December, state and federal agencies fined the county and the City of Seattle for âcombined sewer overflows,â when heavy rainfall overwhelms sewage treatment plants, and the untreated mix of runoff and sewage is shunted into the environment.
