Overview

Edmonds Waterfront Center Q & A

When will the Waterfront Center construction be complete? 

We received our certificate of occupancy in January 2021 and offer 70+ programs. Tours are available by appointment. You may register online here for a tour.

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 Department 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. 

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. 
• Senior Cafe Dining Program: In partnership with the Shore Pine, and in an effort to curb food insecurity for seniors, we offer a senior lunch for those 60 and older. The cost of the meal is $10. No senior is turned away for not being able to pay. For more information, please check out our Senior Dining Program page.
• Coffee Kiosk: Shore Pine Coffee & Gelato is available for take-out only via the outside walk up window. The coffee kiosk’s regular hours are from 8:00am-6:00pm daily, but may vary dependent on weather. 
• Footcare: By appointment only. Please call 425-774-5555 to be placed on a waiting list. 
• Private events: Email for more information or visit the event website. 

What safety precautions have you taken due to COVID-19? 

• Formal COVID Safety Plan for the Edmonds Waterfront Center 
• Global Biorisk Advisory Council (GBAC) STAR Facility Accreditation: the leading certification for COVID-19 safe facilities (such as Seatac Airport, Lumen (CenturyLink) Field and Lynnwood Convention Center) 
• Monitoring maximum number of visitors in the building 
• Requiring masks while in the building 
• Temperatures taken upon entry to the building 
• Social distancing required in the building 
• Hand sanitation stations throughout the building
