Carol Edwards Center History
The Carol Edwards Center is a staple for the City of Woodinville, not just for what it provides for the city, but for the name that it carries. Carol Edwards, “the mother of Woodinville” did so much for her community when she came to Woodinville in 1976. Her dreams were big: starting the Woodinville Weekly, All Fools Day Parade, Teen Northshore, and the Farmers Market. Just before her death in 2007, the city named the Carol Edwards Center after her, to honor her dreams of providing a sense of community to Woodinville.
A few years after opening the Carol Edwards Center, the city was faced with the possibility of having to close it. The city, not wanting to give up on the dream of a community center, looked to local organizations to come forward to determine if they would have the resources to re-open the center. The Northshore Y stepped up and began operating the Carol Edwards Center in January 2011. After a massive renovation to the building and surrounding area in 2021, the Carol Edwards Center reopened in March of 2023 with the goal of providing a healthy and active space for the Woodinville community. It currently offers drop-in Pickleball, Youth Sports activities, group exercise classes, rental opportunities, and an Early Learning Center.
