Fox Island Fishing Pier

This popular public fishing pier is on the east end of Fox Island in southern Puget Sound. Formerly the site of an early 20th century pier that was simply called "the concrete dock", it provides public access for fishing for salmon, bottom fish, and crabs. The Double Tee deck, supported on 24" solid octagonal prestressed concrete piles and cast-in-place pile caps, is virtually a maintenance-free structure that will have a service life in excess of 60 years.
