Hours and conditions can change — most Puget Sound piers run dawn to dusk, with some open later, and access rules are set locally. Salmon migrate through this entire marine area, but seasons, limits, and species restrictions change throughout the year. A Washington saltwater fishing license is required, plus a crabbing endorsement if you're after crab. This pier sits in WDFW Marine Area 7 (San Juan Islands) — check WDFW's current regulations for this area before you head out.
