PUBLIC HEARING (ID # 1070) DOC ID: 1070
Public Hearing to determine the eligibility of the First Baptist
Church of Edmonds located at 404 Bell Street for listing on
the Edmonds Register of Historic Places. (File No.
PLN20150061)
The First Baptist Church of Edmonds (North Sound Church) is located at 404 Bell Street.
The original church building was constructed in 1909 at the corner of 6th Avenue North and
Edmonds Street. The building was moved to its current location in 1929 and a basement was
added. A house was moved to the site and connected to the rear of the church building to serve as
parsonage in 1946. In 1950, a substantial remodel/addition to the church was completed.
A former member of the congregation was Alice Kerr, the first woman elected mayor of
Edmonds in 1924. Church documents show that Kerr played a significant role in church
activities. She was a Sunday School teacher, President of the Women's Society, Church Clerk,
and President of a church missionary group.
Pursuant to ECDC 20.45.010 a property may be designated for inclusion in the Edmonds
Register of Historic Places if it is significantly associated with the history, architecture,
archaeology, engineering or cultural heritage of the community; if it has integrity; is at least 50
years old, or is of lesser age and has exceptional importance. In addition to these three criteria, a
property must also fall into at least one of the categories detailed in ECDC 20.45.010.A - K.
The Historic Preservation Commission will review the First Baptist Church of Edmonds against
the criteria listed above and make a recommendation regarding its eligibility for listing on the
Register of Historic Places
