Sherwood Forest is in southern Edmonds, next to Woodway

Sherwood Forest is in south Edmonds, a Snohomish County city of about 42,000. The neighborhood has on-brand street names like Robin Hood Drive, Friar Tuck Lane and Robbers Roost Road. The neighborhood is several miles from downtown Edmonds and the Puget Sound. Seattle is about 15 miles to the south. "You're backing up to Woodway, the most expensive area around Edmonds so far. The area hugs around what used to be the old Woodway High School. It's been called Woodway Campus and a bunch of things," says Anne-lise Burgess, a broker with Reece Home, a team of Keller Williams North Seattle.

Sherwood Forest, located in southern Edmonds is located just off the Puget Sound.

Homes including ramblers, split-levels and contemporaries

Development of the area over the decades resulted in different subdivisions. "Forest Glen, a subdivision from the 1950s is in this area. But more homes have been built around it," says Kelsey Foster, the communications strategist/public information officer for the City of Edmonds. The area is also known for Hickman Park, a 1980s development.

Among the 1950s through '80s homes are ramblers and split-levels. Contemporaries and traditionals are most common from the 1990s through the 2020s. Single-family homes are typically about $620,000 to $1.3 million, with size, condition and age accounting for the wide range. Some of the newest construction is close to $2 million. The few condos in the area are $380,000 to $400,000.

Areas of the neighborhood where there could potentially be flooding are along 100th Avenue, Edmonds Way and Deer Drive, near Deer Creek.

The CAP Index Crime Score in Sherwood Forest is 2 out of 10, compared to the national average of 4.

Many of the streets in Sherwood Forest are shaded with sidewalks, making it a great place for residents to get out and explore their neighborhood.

Shops in the Village at Westgate, Firdale Village and downtown

To the north is the Village at Westgate, a mixed-use commercial/residential development. Restaurants in the area include Ono Poke, which specializes in Hawaiian cuisine made with organic produce and fresh, sustainable seafood. According to Foster, it's well-known as a top poke place in the Seattle area. Other options include Herfy's Burgers and Ivar's Seafood Bar. There are drug stores, banks, and grocers, such as QFC and PCC Community Markets Edmonds Co-op.

To the south is Fridale Village, an area known for its eclectic shopping plaza. "Firdale kind of butts up to Highway 99. It's loosely known as the Highway 99 area or neighborhood, but that's not an official name," Foster says. Firdale Village Shopping Plaza has independently owned businesses, including the Aquarium Co-op and feline and canine pet grooming options: Salon Meow and Muddy Pawz. Often, La Casa de Amigos food truck will be here serving Honduran cuisine.

Downtown Edmonds has been named Washington's first certified Creative District. In addition to stores and places to eat, downtown features murals, galleries, the Edmonds Center for the Arts, the Cascadia Art Museum and the historical Edmonds Theater.
