City to Host the Starlight Beach Walk February 6, 2024

Residents of Edmonds, WA, are encouraged to join the Starlight Beach Walk on February 6, 2024, from 7 to 8:30 PM, an event designed to immerse participants in the natural wonders of the Edmonds Marine Sanctuary during winter nights. This special evening offers a rare opportunity to explore the intertidal zone and witness marine life that thrives in the area, including anemones, sea stars, and crabs. The walk will be led by dedicated volunteers from the Edmonds Discovery Programs and WSU-Snohomish County Beach Watchers, who will share their expertise about the unique adaptations of these creatures and their roles within the ecosystem. Participants will gather at the Olympic Beach Visitor Station, where they can enjoy hot beverages after their exploration. Attendees are encouraged to dress for the weather and bring flashlights, as the event will take place rain or shine.

This community-focused initiative not only promotes environmental education but also fosters a connection between residents and their local marine environment. For additional information, residents can reach out to the City of Edmonds via phone or email. The Starlight Beach Walk exemplifies the city's commitment to engaging the community in environmental stewardship and education.
