Edmonds is filled with highly rated restaurants, coffee shops, and cafes, as well as delicious sweet-treat destinations, but did you know about the many downtown boutiques and clothing stores that Edmonds has to offer? All within walking distance, and in the heart of Edmonds, there is a clothing store for every age, gender, and style. Exploring Edmonds as an East Coast girl has exposed me to the many boutiques and stores that are specifically unique to Edmonds, something that most towns don’t have to offer.
As I continue to explore and get to know the town, I wanted to share with you six must-visits for all your clothes-shopping needs in Edmonds!
