The middle of that marina and the edge of that shore aren’t the same place lmao. Plus ain’t no way I’m wading into that. Don’t really want to slip on the stuff coating the rocks and become paralyzed for life.

No but you didn’t specify. You just said somewhere clear and I showed you someplace that is. Arguing semantics doesn’t negate the fact that its clear. This isn’t the Atlantic Ocean. It’s not going to look the same. But I’ve been farther out and could see down too. Maybe since you have lived here your whole life you become blinded to how pretty it is. Grow up somewhere like Texas where the closest beach is fucking Galveston and all it’s oil spills and you would appreciate this too.

I specified beach. Now if you could make the rocky sea wall into a beach without it instantly eroding you might be onto the next great thing. And if some crusty sea wall is something to ooh and ahh about you should probably explore more of the state.
Also clear water beaches are typically clear to more than like 15 feet from the shore which I’m not really seeing.

I mean, if you know Edmonds you know there is a beach a couple blocks away. But alright you got me…
These are from the beach in Edmonds still pretty clear and walkable you probably won’t fall and paralyze yourself here.

Hahahahaha it turns into a disgusting brown sludge like five feet into the surf. Ain’t no way that’s clear. Is thigh deep water the best you can do? Ain’t no way you can swim in that unless you want to grab the bottom like that one ancestor to land creatures.

If you think that water is disgusting brown you’re jaded from your time here. Go anywhere north of Florida on the east coast, or any beach in Texas and you will see a CLEAR 😉 difference.

I’m sorry but stop deflecting. I don’t live in Florida or Texas so I don’t comment on those places. Rule of thumb if you can’t see your feet in the water you step in it’s not clear. If it’s ten feet deep and you can’t see the bottom it’s not clear. End of discussion.

That’s not deflecting. I’ve to multiple beaches here where I could easily see more than 5 feet down.

Pointing at the bottom of the water for someone else. The water here was probably 7-8 feet.

It might be clear for your standards but clear is like Miami Beach clear where I can see the bottom beyond like six feet into horizontal into the ocean before it becomes really murky. It would be really boring snorkeling when your max vision is six feet.
