 The opening of Snoqualmie Hall in 2002 gave Central a permanent presence on campus.Edmonds Community College became a single-district college on July 1, 1981, when the legislature approved the new District 23 for Edmonds Community College (which shared boundaries with the Edmonds School District, an explanation for why the college is named "Edmonds," although it has a Lynnwood address).The college's name was shortened to Edmonds College in April 2020 to reflect the availability of four-year degree programs.
