For most of the year, the trucks running ManageMowed's routes through Edmonds are timed around growing grass, cutting the same lawns on the same weekly rounds from the first mow of spring through the last one before the rain really sets in. That whole route structure gets repurposed on the handful of days a winter storm actually drops snow on the town: the same stops, in roughly the same order, only the mower deck stays folded up and a plow blade or a shovel does the work instead. Lawns themselves get left alone — nobody needs a shoveled yard — but the driveways and front walks at every one of those stops get cleared the way the grass usually does, methodically and in the same sequence every time. Edmonds' hillier routes near the bluff take longer than the flatter blocks farther from the water, so those trucks head out first while the ground is still cold enough to hold a good plow line. By early afternoon, most of the regular route is done, and the crews are back to talking about when the grass will need its first cut of spring.
