The City of Edmonds invites the public to join the Starlight Beach Walk on February 6, 2024, from 7 to 8:30 PM, an event designed to explore the Edmonds Marine Sanctuary. This evening adventure will allow participants to witness the unique intertidal zone and the diverse marine life that thrives in the area. Knowledgeable volunteers from the Edmonds Discovery Programs and WSU-Snohomish County Extension will guide the walk, offering insights into the various species encountered, including anemones, sea stars, and crabs. The event is suitable for all ages, with no prior registration needed, promoting community involvement and education about local ecosystems. Attendees are advised to dress for the weather and bring sturdy footwear or rubber boots for a comfortable experience.

This initiative not only fosters appreciation for the marine environment but also strengthens community ties. As low tides during winter nights create a unique opportunity for exploration, this event is both timely and significant for local residents.
