Shore-access pier dive with crabs, octopus, and traffic.
Boeing Dock is a shore-access pier dive on Mukilteo's working waterfront, where pilings, dock structure, and a steep waterfront slope create a compact local dive. The site is valued more for crabs, octopus, and mixed small life around the structure than for open-water scenery, and planning matters because ferry, barge, and dock activity can change the feel of the dive quickly.
