Edmonds was founded in 1876 and received its first railroad in 1891, constructed by the Seattle and Montana Railroad between Seattle and British Columbia.[9][17] The Great Northern Railway later acquired the railroad and completed its transcontinental route to Seattle in 1893, bringing long-distance passenger service to Edmonds.[18] The original station was located on the west side of the tracks away from downtown and derided as inaccessible and undersized for the growing city.[19][20] A formal investigation of stations across Snohomish County by the Washington State Railroad Commission in 1909 led to a court order for Great Northern to improve their depots, including a modernized facility for Edmonds at James Street, which the railroad resisted in their failed appeal to the state court.[21] Great Northern later agreed to build the new depot after further consultation with Edmonds city leaders over its location and amenities.[22][23] Later visits by the commission attracted crowds of up to a hundred citizens,[24] and the city agreed to a right of way franchise with Great Northern for the new depot in January 1910.[25][26] The railroad and city continued to argue over the proposed depot's distance from James Street until the chamber of commerce intervened and requested a compromise be reached.[27][28]
The new Edmonds depot opened in November 1910,[29] constructed with clapboard sidings and had a wooden platform that was connected to street level by a series of ramps, which were later decorated with railroad knick-knacks.[30] It was initially served by eight daily passenger trains: limited transcontinental trains and local service to Seattle and Vancouver, British Columbia.[29][31] Freight services from the new depot also accepted shipments from the Olympic Peninsula, delivered by boat from various shingle mills.[32] By the late 1950s, Great Northern's declining passenger service left Edmonds with only one daily train: the Cascadian from Seattle to Spokane
