From the website: The Edmonds Underwater Park is located just north of the Edmonds-Kingston Ferry Landing at the foot of Main Street. The Park includes more than 27 acres of tide and bottom lands of which approximately half have been developed with features and trails specifically for divers.
The Park was established at Brackett's Landing in 1970 by city ordinance as a Marine Preserve and Sanctuary. It is the most popular of 10 underwater parks that make up Washington’s underwater park system.
About 25,000 scuba divers visit the Edmonds park each year. Most are among the state's 250,000 trained divers, though 15 percent come from out of state, mostly from Portland and Vancouver, B.C.

WARNING! OpenDiveSites.org is a community-run site. While we do our best to keep information up-to-date, no content on this site should be construed as authoritative, complete, or correct. Scuba or free diving and other aquatic activities are inherently dangerous and can pose a risk of injury or death; the information on this site will not mitigate that. We hope you find our information helpful, but we must never be your sole source of navigational information, awareness of dive conditions, site hazards, or legal restrictions -- it is a repository of community-submitted content, not a divemaster.
