Murals in Edmonds: Three new murals will be mounted in downtown Edmonds starting July 15. The Edmonds Mural Society said one is a traditional mural, one is surrealist and one is perspectival.

It will be painted on the north-facing wall of 111 Fourth Avenue N; Ellen Clark’s “Coastal Companion” goes from past to present, and then into a possible future. It will be painted on the north-facing wall of 515 Main Street. Mona Smiley-Fairbanks’ “Sebastes Maliger” pays homage to the native quillback rockfish, once a bountiful species.
