Sketcher Fest Edmonds brings together 500 artists from around the world
If you were in Edmonds last weekend, you probably noticed them — small clusters of people perched on stairs, tucked into alleyways, and sitting on curbs in the middle of the bustling farmers market or down by the waterfront, sketchbooks balanced on their knees.
