Edmonds, just over the north border of King County, is the oldest incorporated neighborhood in Snohomish County. Logger George Brackett founded Edmonds in 1890, naming the neighborhood either for Vermont Sen. George Franklin Edmunds or in association with the nearby Point Edmund, named by Charles Wilkes in 1841 and later changed to Point Edwards. Brackett came to the future site of Edmonds while paddling a canoe north of Seattle, searching for timber. When a gust of wind hit his canoe, Brackett beached in a location later called "Brackett's Landing".
