EDMONDS — The Edmonds Historical Museum reopened Saturday morning after three months of renovations. The result is not just a newly refurbished museum space, but in some ways a trip back to 1910, when the city’s Carnegie Library first opened in the building.
The museum staff found the original 1910 building layout and specifications and tried to reproduce that as much as possible, museum director Tarin Erickson said. That includes the hardwood floor of the main story stained with a varnish that matches the original. Curved wall segments with burlap wainscoting follow the original specifications, and
the original Tiffany glass “Public Library” sign hangs in the main room. “We’re thrilled with the results,” Erickson said. The renovations came at a cost of $45,000 to $50,000, most of which was raised last fall. The museum may seek grant money
We’re thrilled with the results.

OLYMPIA — Medicaid enrollments through the new health exchange in Washington state have exceeded officials’ expectations, but questions remain about whether there will be enough doctors to serve the influx of newly insured low-income patients. The state Health Care Authority, which oversees the federal-state program for the poor and disabled, is in talks with the University of Washington and the Washington State Medical Association to do a statewide survey of doctors this summer to see if the federal health law’s temporary bump in Medicaid payments to doctors was an incentive that helped keep or add providers. While officials had originally estimated that approximately 120,000 newly eligible adults would initially sign up for Medicaid in Washington state, about 300,000 actually did. That bump in doctor pay — bringing the reimbursement rates See REFORM, back page, this section
