Mukilteo T-Dock
Dive Site Map
The site is located immediately north of the Mukilteo ferry terminal, and just south of Everett.
From I-5 and take the Mukilteo-Clinton ferry exit to Hwy. 526 going west. You'll pass a large Boeing facility.
After going down a short steep hill to a stop light turn right onto Hwy 525 going north. Follow this all the way down passing ferry traffic and the holding area. It will appear like you are going right onto the ferry. On Front St. just before the ferry loading area turn right and go to the end of Front and Park Streets. Park in this area. The dive site is at the end of Park street next to the hotel.
Facilities are back at the ferry dock. Several restaurants are nearby.
Great dive site for all skill levels with a wide variety of stuff to see depending on what time of year you go. Visibility can be bad in the summer months until you get below 30-40’. The T-Dock and other debris provide good shelter for a wide variety of small fish. Primarily Rock Cod, Surf Perch, Flounder, etc. This site is usually a good location for Crabbing in the summer months and is also home to various shrimp and sea stars. The occasional notable sightings I have had at the T-Dock were a school of Squid laying eggs just north of the Dock, an Albino Sea Lion, and the occasional big ling cod or Cabazeon. The first shelf drops off to about 130’ then levels off and goes back up to about 110’ before going back down to a depth beyond Scuba limits. Some man made things to look for is the PVC Octagon at about 60’ (See UW Site Map for more details) & the School Zone speed limit sign at about 20’ just south of the dock.
Watch out for Boats during the summer months. Even though this is a heavily used site by Scuba divers a dive flag is always a good idea. The ferry is not far away so don’t get to close or you’ll have some people upset with you when you get to the surface. Also, the dock just south of the T-Dock is used for fishing & Crabbing by land dwellers so be courteous and careful of that area as well.
