EDMONDS RAILWAY DEPOT
In 1891 the Seattle & Montana Railroad, later part of the Great Northern, laid tracks into Edmonds. By 1910 eight trains stopped daily and a depot was built. The present station was built in 1956. The Empire Builder and other passenger trains stopped regularly. In 1971 Amtrak assumed this service.
This marker placed here October 1996 by the Edmonds-South Snohomish County Historical Society.
