Officals: Too many people are diving off the Mukilteo Pier
EVERETT — Public officials have a message for visitors at the Mukilteo Fishing Pier.
Stop jumping off of it.
At first glance — if you ignore the signage warning you not to swim there — it may seem harmless. But the pier’s proximity to the Mukilteo Ferry Terminal can be extremely dangerous for those in the water and cause delays for those commuting to and from the city.
Diving there has been an issue, officials say, ever since the pier opened a few years ago. The problem usually gets worse in the warmer summer months, said Nathan Fabia, a spokesperson for the Mukilteo Police Department.
