From the 1953 publication of "Edmonds Gem of Puget Sound", by Ray Verner Cloud, pg 7-9 :

...during 1876 and the years following, the young woodsman busied himself erecting a cabin, draining the marshy land near the waterfront and starting his logging operations, settlers gradually arrived and took claims. One of the most notable of these was Captain William H. Hamlin, one of the best-known navigators on Puget Sound, who came in 1881. He built a small wharf near what is now Third Avenue, just north of the city park, where he could dock his boat at high tide, as the tide flats had not yet been reclaimed from the sound. In 1883 John C. Lund who had married the widow Deiner, with five children, bought 160 acres facing the Sound about four miles north of Mr. Brackett's holdings. It was called Six-Mile Point because it was about that distance south of Mukilteo, once the county seat. The place later became known as Lund's Gulch and is in the vicinity of Meadowdale. The same year Charles B. Breed homesteaded a 160-acre tract inland from the Brackett property and soon afterward set up a sawmill to cut much of his timber.
