If you have ever visited the Edmonds Historical Museum, located in the old Carnegie Library building at 118 Fifth Ave. N, you probably have learned that back in earlier times, the Edmonds city jail was in the basement of the library building for many years.
Actually, the jail cell is still there although its only purpose now is to amuse museum visitors....
