• Edmonds Serves spotlight: Edmonds Police Foundation (myedmondsnews.com) — Edmonds is highlighting the Edmonds Police Foundation this week, recognizing its work funding vital police equipment, training, and community programs beyond the city budget. From K9s and AEDs to Edmonds Night Out and a holiday 5K, the volunteer-run nonprofit helps keep local policing better equipped and more connected with residents. You can learn more and get involved online.
• In Days Gone By: Somehow, we survived childhood — albeit possibly not totally unscathed, part 2 (mymltnews.com) — Memories from Edmonds residents who grew up in the 1950s and '60s highlight how local schools, parks, and playgrounds were full of hazards that would shock parents today, from shop classes without safety gear to brutal dodgeball games. The story walks through junior high and high school years, weaving Edmonds School District experiences into a broader look at how kids somehow thrived despite risky equipment, chemicals, and gym requirements.
• In Days Gone By: Somehow, we survived childhood — albeit possibly not totally unscathed, part 1 (mymltnews.com) — A nostalgic look at childhood from prenatal days through sixth grade includes a vivid Edmonds High School alum's memory of being flung into a dashboard in a flimsy 1950s car seat. The piece explores how baby boomers grew up amid unsafe medical advice, crude car restraints, rough playground games, and home remedies that seem shocking by today's standards.
