Neighbourhood

We have about 27 kids under the age of 10 in our immediate neighborhood. While you wouldn’t know it because it is still quiet, this is a very friendly neighborhood where everyone knows everyone! They will definitely greet you if you see them outside and they will know you are visiting as we look after each other a lot. Our house is a 10 minute walk to the grocery stores (both general grocery store and a local organic store called PCC), 20min walk into downtown Edmonds with very cute local shops and amazing restaurants and a 25 minute walk to the beach/ferry (to Kingston which sends you off to Poulsbo (“Little Norway) and the Olympic National Park). You can also walk to the Sounder train that runs about twice a day (check schedules as it changes depending on sporting events in Seattle). The Sounder train is about a 20 minute scenic walk toward the water!

Nearest airport

SeaTac airport is the closest airport (about 40min away). Bellingham airport is an hour away Vancouver airport is 2.5-3 hours away Portland airport is 3.5 hours away

Getting around

You don’t need a car when in Edmonds as it is super walkable, but you do need transport from the airport (about $75-$100 each way via Uber, Lyft, Taxi). Car is recommended, but not required. Uber (rideshare) can get you to the Light rail and take you to many places like the University of Washington, Downtown Seattle, airport etc. (this is different than the Sounder train). So know you have a lot of options without a car.

I am happy to show you around Seattle, Edmonds and the surrounding area. I love meeting people from around the world and hope to even host you for a meal!

Feedback

  • We stayed 2.5 weeks at Ghazals place in Edmonds looking after their lovely dog Sophie. The house is very comfortable and has everything you can possibly think of and more. Edmonds is a great little city with nice shops and restaurants. So much to explore in the surroundings also. Ghazal is the best. Very easy to communicate with and even though she's was enjoying her family holiday in Europe we were in touch frequently. We can really recommend staying in Edmonds and we're very much looking forward to seeing the family in Europe next year.

  • Monique-it was a pleasure to have you and Jan at our home. Sophie absolutely loved you guys and I am thrilled to have been able to meet you while you are still here (at our lake house). We can’t wait to see you again next summer in Hague!

  • Our time at Ghazals home in Edmonds was nothing short of amazing. Her home is beautiful and inviting, and her neighbors are very welcoming! We had the pleasure of taking care of her sweet dog Sophie and my kids still say that they miss her! If you get a chance to swap with this family, you will have a great experience. Thank you Ghazal for the memories!
    Home Feedback: Cassie stayed with Ghazal 5 months ago
  • Oh Cassie-it was our pleasure to have you. Thank you for taking care of our home and our love, Sophie! We miss her terribly and you made it so much easier on us to know she was so well loved. May our paths cross again!

  • Ghazals home was a perfect spot for our extended trip to Seattle. 15-20 min north or Seattle and a couple miles from the Kingston/Edmonds ferry. The beach was a favorite spot for us- just two miles from the house, and just a beautiful place to hang with kiddos and watch the ferries come and go. Everything you need is within a mile or two- grocery, restaurants and the cutest little down down. (The Farmers Market on Saturdays in summer is a must!!) The house itself is new, clean and spacious. We all felt right at home and we consider ourselves lucky and very grateful to have had the opportunity to stay here for our trip. Thanks Ghazal and family for opening up your beautiful home to us.

  • My husband and our two littles along with their grandma stayed at Ghazal’s home in Edmonds for a week. Everything was great — beautiful & clean home with lots of space to make it plenty comfortable for our group. My 2.5 year old especially loved both the indoor and outdoor trampolines. Ghazal was a gracious host and easy to communicate with.

  • Ghazal is great at communication and making sure everything is clear. At the end even though we didn't do the exchange, it was great having a connection established with her! Very much looking forward to the exchange next time.

Ghazal

We are a family of 4 from Edmonds, Washington USA and love to travel and meet people from around the world. I've traveled Europe and the Caribbean a bit and trying to get my husband and boys to travel more. Our kids will be in a 100% Spanish immersion program through 2029, so we would love to go to Spain (and surrounding countries - Croatia, Italy, Switzerland, Portugal are high on our list) every summer for 4-8 weeks. We'd love to share our lakefront beach house in Bellingham or our "walk to the beach" house in Edmonds, Washington with those that want to spend time splashing around and outside in nature. We’re most interested in sim, non-sim and globe exchanges in the following locations: Croatia, Spain (prefer "Coastal" Spain since summers are hot!), Switzerland, Hawaii (Maui 2025), Italy, Iceland, Turks and Caicos, Japan, Vancouver and San Diego, CA. Pools are a major plus! Open to New Zealand and Australia for 3 weeks in mid December-early January also (2025!) We are open to hospitality stays also!
