Actually, naysayers, the water is clear. The lighter parts is the floor. You can literally see something in the water at the bottom.

The Puget Sound sea is terminally a murky green, the blue pictured here is refractive clear skies. It is a nice picture anyways.

In Edmonds it isnāt. I was there, the poster is my wife. We go there all the time to take pictures of sea life. The water is crystal clear. This photo just isnāt the best representation.

Trust me you canāt fool the people that actually have lived here their entire life. You can help me save thousands if you find a place in Washington that has crystal clear water beach thatās isnāt in a lake or a tide pool.

Idk maybe Iām a stupid Texan who doesnāt know clear water from being surrounded by nasty brown water my whole but it looks pretty clear to me. These are from the same place. And itās not a tide pool or lake. This is part of the sound.

Rolfmao thatās the edge of the shore of course it would look like that on a nice sunny day. There might be reason when I go to the pier on the edge of that marina and look down at Edmonds I canāt see jackshit. The pictures literally look like a tide pool you would see at the aquarium.

Itās clear. š¤·š»āāļø And obviously clear. You didnāt specify where it had to be clear. You just said clear beach water. Thatās clear beach water.

The middle of that marina and the edge of that shore arenāt the same place lmao. Plus aināt no way Iām wading into that. Donāt really want to slip on the stuff coating the rocks and become paralyzed for life.

No but you didnāt specify. You just said somewhere clear and I showed you someplace that is. Arguing semantics doesnāt negate the fact that its clear. This isnāt the Atlantic Ocean. Itās not going to look the same. But Iāve 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 itās 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 Iām not really seeing.

I mean, if you know Edmonds you know there is a beach a couple blocks away. But alright you got meā¦
These are from the beach in Edmonds still pretty clear and walkable you probably wonāt fall and paralyze yourself here.

Hahahahaha it turns into a disgusting brown sludge like five feet into the surf. Aināt no way thatās clear. Is thigh deep water the best you can do? Aināt 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 youāre 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 š difference.

Iām sorry but stop deflecting. I donāt live in Florida or Texas so I donāt comment on those places. Rule of thumb if you canāt see your feet in the water you step in itās not clear. If itās ten feet deep and you canāt see the bottom itās not clear. End of discussion.

Thatās not deflecting. Iāve 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.
