The victim, 23, was from SeaTac. He died at the scene.
The shooting happened around midnight outside the Edmonds Senior Center in the 200 block of Railroad Avenue, according to the Edmonds Police Department.
More than 100 people were at a party inside the senior center. A fight broke out during the event, according to a news release.
