The Edmonds Historical Museum fills 5th Avenue North and Bell Street with an open-air holiday market on Saturday mornings in December, right outside the museum doors.
Families can wander past local farmers, bakers and makers selling holiday greenery, seasonal treats and handmade gifts, with music and festive decorations along the street.
Parent tip: Pop into the museum itself while you are there, since it is open Saturday mornings during market hours and families pay only a small suggested donation.

A story for the drive home
A morning with Santa or an evening of holiday stories tends to end the same way: tired kids, a long drive and one more book before bed. Our picture book follows Rally the corgi on his first train ride to see his grand-paw-rents, and every page is painted by hand. If your family is spending December missing someone, it was written for that too. For the car, print our free corgi and train coloring pages.
A bedtime story after seeing SantaRally Takes the Train is a five-minute rhyming picture book about a corgi’s first ride on a California train, hand-painted in watercolor. $16.99 on Amazon, ages 0 to 8.
