The spot
The things that stay true when the weather changes.
Edmonds Underwater Park, WA runs roughly 30 to 45 feet deep in the area people use.
High tide gives the best visibility, and going early beats the crowd that stirs up the sandy bottom. Current inside the park is usually slight, though a strong north wind can push visibility under 10 ft.
City lot at the foot of Main Street, just north of the ferry landing. Around 30 cars, 4 hour limit.
