The iconic The Edmonds Fishing Pier has a Visitor Station with plenty of information about local events and happenings. The pier itself is open to the public 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
You can crab and fish off of most public docks and piers in Port Townsend. But we happen to think the best way to enjoy them is by watching the sunset from them.
Not only does this pier offer some incredible scenery, it's the site of some of the city's best festivals. You can even climb the lookout tower on the pier and check out the views.
The new Harper Pier was constructed a few years ago, replacing a structure that had become dangerously decrepit. The current Harper Pier is often used for fishing, although you'll see plenty of people using it for a simple seaside stroll.
Located on Harbor Avenue in West Seattle, Seacrest Park's pier gives you an unparalleled view of the city skyline. Catch a few fish or catch the water taxi to the waterfront.
Take a walk on this beautiful pier and you'll take in views of Bellingham like you've never seen it before. We highly recommend going at sunset.
Located on the Eastern tip of Fox Island, this little fishing pier was built by the Department of Fishing and Wildlife. From 7 a.m. until dusk, you can check it out for yourself.
Fishing is still a popular pastime — and source of income — here in Washington. Check out Ilwaco, our old fishing village.
