Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Keystone Jetty (Fort Casey)
The underwater park at Keystone Jetty is found just South of the Keystone Ferry terminal in the Fort Casey State Park. A small parking area with picnic tables and facilities makes for a nice two-tank location.
About 30 miles North of Seattle on Whidbey Island. The location makes for a great loop drive for a leisurely day. The North access to the island is via Anacortes, and the South access is via the Mukilteo Ferry, just West of Everett. About in the middle of the Island, just South of Coupeville, head West on Wanamaker road (highway 20) to the Keystone Ferry landing.

My dive buddy has 100+ dives on this site and I have a half dozen. In addition to the comments below, I'd add that the kelp at the beginning of the dive in mid to late summer is beautiful. The piled jetty wall of rocks supports a huge field of plumose anemone, quite beautiful. The large lingcod, unfortunately, are not adequately protected here - fishing is allowed, even though it's an underwater park. The chance to see grunt sculpin alone would draw me here. Is it the best shore dive in the Pacific NW, as a respondent below suggests? No, that honor goes just north to Deception Pass.
