Washington Park near Anacortes holds two great dive possibilities, Green Point to the north and Fidalgo Head to the south. The bay is muddy and relatively featureless but both rugged shorelines offer a variety of colorful life.
Enter the water near the stair and swim north to explore the rocky, jagged shoreline of Green Point. Beware that there are strong currents in this area and beware during a flood that your return may be difficult. you can also exit on the rocks below the park to the north but it is awkward and difficult.
Fidalgo Head is south around the point marked by the rugged rocky shoreline that extends below the surface for 35 to a sandy bottom once around the point. It is a LONG swim, easily 15 minutes just to reach the beginning of the point so be prepared for it. You must return to this beach to exit.
