Did you know that Lighthouse State Park has never been open to diving and that it is not allowed? That’s right; Lighthouse State Park in Mukilteo is restricted from scuba diving by the city. And yes, I know we all have dived there in recent months. Well, there was an open forum meeting with the parks department and some members of the city council this past week and the parks department was convinced to open the park to scuba diving. In fact, they now want to emulate Edmonds and create an underwater park there. The divers at the meeting, led by Mike Racine of WSA, weren’t sure that was the right place for an underwater park and one member of the city council stated that the long range plan is to remove the Mukilteo oil dock, move the ferry terminal to that spot, and turn the existing ferry dock area into an underwater park. Anyway, the city council will formally consider a recommendation by the parks department on April 20 at 7 pm at the Mukilteo Town Hall. We are looking for a SRO turnout by all divers especially those members of the dive community that use Mukilteo…I wonder who that could be?

Hello All,
I hope all is well with everyone. Below is some very important info:
