As a community organization serving a vulnerable population, The Edmonds Senior Center makes the health and safety of its members and participants a priority. With the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID19), we are taking careful preventative measures. Here’s how you can help:

-Stay home if you are sick. If you have or have had a fever, cough, or shortness of breath within the last 24 hours, please stay home.

-Notify us if you get covid-19. If you are confirmed to have covid-19 and have been to ESC recently, please let us know.

-Prevent the spread of germs. Wash hands often and well, cough and sneeze into a tissue or your elbow, and avoid touching your face.

-Bear with us if cancellations or closures become necessary.

Edmonds Waterfront Center Q & A

When will the Waterfront Center construction be complete?
Besides a few minor cosmetic details, construction of the building, parking lot and waterfront walkway is complete! The building will remain closed for programs and visitors due to COVID-19.

Who will own the building?
The building is owned by the Edmonds Senior Center. The City of Edmonds owns the property (land). We have a 55-year ground lease with the City of Edmonds. In the partnership, the Edmonds Senior Center will offer programs focused on seniors Monday-Friday from 8:00am–4:00 pm. The City of Edmonds Department of Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Services will offer programs Monday-Thursday from 4:00pm-10:00pm. On Friday evenings and weekends, the Edmonds Waterfront Center will be used as a rental venue. All rental revenue will be used to support senior programs at the Edmonds Waterfront Center.

Will there be a formal grand opening?
Due to COVID-19, we will be hosting a virtual grand opening for the new building sometime in early 2021. We will announce the date and details on our website and in the newspaper. Attendees will be able to join an online link, hear from Board members, staff, key stakeholders, and get a virtual tour of the new building.

When will you officially move in?
We have received our certificate of occupancy. Furniture and Equipment have been moved into the building. The EWC Staff have the option of working from their new offices at the Edmonds Waterfront Center while following COVID-19 safety protocols or working remotely from home.

When will you be open for programs?
Safety is our #1 priority. Opening for programs in the new building will be dependent on safety guidelines provided by the CDC, State of Washington, and Snohomish County Health Department. This is our tentative plan:
• Programs: we will continue to offer online programs until official guidelines allow onsite programming.
• Congregate Meal Senior Dining Program: Senior meals will begin being prepared in the Potlatch Bistro starting March 1st. Suggested donation for a senior meal is $5. Meal choice is limited to the Senior Dining Menu. We are encouraging curbside pick up for our senior meal recipients during the month of March. Registration is required to participate in the Senior Dining Program. Pre-order is also required for these meals. You may reserve your meal by calling the Lunch Hotline at 425-774-5555 ext 107. This program is federally subsidized for those 60 and older and follows strict nutrition guidelines. Click on the "Menu" link at the top of this page to view the Senior Dining Menu. Please contact Health & Wellness Program Director Michelle Reitan at (425) 954-2523 or by Email for more information.
• Lunch service at The Potlatch Bistro open to the public: The Potlatch Bistro will be following restaurant guidelines and restrictions of 25% capacity once it is open. Reservations to dine in the bistro are encouraged due to limited seating capacity. Opening for dine-in and take-out will be mid-March. Once fully open, the bistro’s regular hours will be Monday–Friday from 11:00am–2:00pm. View the Potlatch Bistro menu and make a reservation here https://www.potlatchbistro.com/.
• Coffee Kiosk: Shore Pine Coffee & Gelato will will be available in early March for take-out only, using the pass-through window on the north side of the building. Once fully open, the coffee kiosk’s regular hours will be Monday-Friday from 8:00am-4:00pm.
• Footcare: Closed until further notice.

• Bastyr Natural Medicine Clinic: By appointment only. Please call 425-774-5555 ext 104 to schedule.
• Private events: Currently based on COVID capacity requirements. Contact Michelle Burke for more information.

as Seatac Airport, Lumen (CenturyLink) Field and Lynnwood Convention Center)
