While every day in Edmonds is a joy, the special atmosphere around Christmas renders the same visit magical. The shops on Main Street have many wares to sample, and tourists in a rainbow of thick winter coats pass by as you shop. At night the crowds disperse and thousands of Christmas Lights dot the darkened town. The docks are the same, even down to the twinkling lights that adorn the sailboats.
The denizens that call the frigid water home have their own bits of twinkling light, if you look right. Take a flashlight down to the docks at a low tide and scan around in the water. You never know what you’ll find. Tonight, I was treated to a visit from the mascot of Aquacast, a Spotted Ratfish! We’ve covered this species before, but to see one so close was a real treat. Pictures after the break!
