- Edmonds — Thumbnail History (historylink.org)
The city of Edmonds rests along a shoreline and the hillside beyond about 15 miles north of Seattle. Native Americans of the Snohomish people occupied coastal and river areas surrounding the site, and Euro-American explorers encountered their canoes, but they apparently had no permanent village sites in the immediate locale. Its founding father was George Brackett (1842-1927) (arrived 1876) and in its early decades Edmonds thrived as a mill town. During the late twentieth century the city became increasingly urban, while retaining elements of its small town character.
- Paleolithic (Wikipedia)
The Paleolithic or Palaeolithic (/ˌpeɪ-, ˌpælioʊˈlɪθɪk/ PAY-, PAL-ee-oh-LITH-ik), also called the Old Stone Age (from Greek: παλαιός palaios, “old” and λίθος lithos, “stone”), is a period in human prehistory that is distinguished by the original development of stone tools, and which represents almost the entire period of human prehistoric technology. It extends from the earliest known use of stone tools by hominins, c. 3.3 million years ago, to the end of the Pleistocene, c. 11,650 cal BP.
