About this map

Puget Sound defines the western edge of this landscape, where the shoreline transitions from Norma Beach and Meadowdale south toward the port at Edmonds. The 1970s updates reveal an area in the midst of significant suburban transformation, with the dense residential grids of Lynnwood and Mountlake Terrace filling the space between the coast and the northern reaches of Lake Washington. This era shows a community infrastructure built for growth, evidenced by the numerous education centers like Edmonds High Sch and Mountlake Terrace High Sch.

Cultural and institutional footprints are scattered throughout, from the Holyrood Cemetery and Nile Temple Country Club to specialized facilities like the Radio Range Sta near Alderwood Manor. Transportation is anchored by the Burlington Northern line and a developing network of highways that bypass small water bodies such as Lake Ballinger and Hall Lake. The inclusion of the U S Coast Guard Reservation and a Military Reservation highlights the strategic coastal positioning of the region.
