Fishing Piers in Seattle

9 listings · ranked by rating & reviews · updated 2026

Fishing piers are among the easiest ways to get on the water without a boat - a stable platform out over the surf or a bay, often with railings, benches, lights for night fishing and a bait shop nearby. Many public piers are free to walk and fish, while some municipal and private piers charge a modest daily fishing fee, and a state saltwater or freshwater license may still be required depending on the pier and state. They are a favorite for families and beginners because the access is simple and you can catch a real variety of species right from the deck. The listings here help you find piers by city and state, with what to expect on arrival.

FAQ

Fishing Piers in Seattle - common questions

How many fishing piers are there in Seattle? +
Lure Compass lists 9 listings for fishing piers in Seattle, WA.
Who has the best-rated fishing piers in Seattle? +
By Google review volume, Green Lake Park is the most-reviewed fishing piers listing in Seattle (4.8★, 10,306 reviews). Rankings follow review count, not paid placement.
Do you need a license to fish off a pier? +
It depends on the pier and the state. Some public piers operate under a blanket license that covers everyone fishing from them, while at others each angler needs their own state license. Check the pier operator or your state wildlife agency for the specific rule before you fish.
Are fishing piers free? +
Many public piers are free to fish, but some municipal and privately run piers charge a daily fishing fee, and there may be a separate parking cost. Fees, hours and any license requirement vary by location - confirm with the pier before you go.
What can you catch from a fishing pier? +
That varies by region and season, and pier regulars are usually happy to share what is biting. Reviews and listings here can point you to well-reviewed piers by city and state, but the pier operator or a nearby bait shop is your best source for current conditions and what is running.
How much does a fishing charter cost in Seattle? +
Seattle charters typically run about $500-$1,500 - shared salmon and bottomfish days at the low end, private and halibut specialty charters at the top. Confirm the all-in price and the open season with the operator.
What can you catch out of Seattle? +
Puget Sound trips target salmon (several species by season), lingcod and bottomfish, with halibut and Dungeness crab in their seasons. Ask each operator which trip matches your dates and what is currently open.
Are salmon and halibut seasons restricted in Washington? +
Yes - Washington manages salmon and halibut fishing tightly by area and date, and openings change year to year. Always confirm the current season and area rules with the operator before booking.
Where do Seattle charters depart from? +
Charters run from Seattle, Everett and other Puget Sound ports, some to the San Juans. The ranked list below covers the area by review volume and rating.
