Here is a quote from the seattle times article published November 25, 2003 -
Pier 86, just off Elliott Way near the grain terminal, is by far the most popular squid-jigging area. The large pier is well-lit from end to end, has shelters to keep dry from the rain, restrooms and a small store that sells snacks, coffee and jigs. There are also electrical outlets where jiggers can plug in portable lights.
Piers 62 and 63 are the biggest squidding areas along the waterfront, and the Seattle Aquarium pier and the pier just north of it, known as the concert pier, are great places to try. The Seacrest Boathouse pier in West Seattle also draws an allegiance of squidders.
Don't just limit yourself to squidding in Elliott Bay.
"I've heard of good fishing reports at the Brownsville dock in Bremerton, and scattered reports around the Edmonds pier," Bargmann said.
In Puget Sound, try the Point Defiance Park pier and Les Davis pier in Tacoma area; Fauntleroy ferry dock, Blake Island pier, Vashon Island ferry pier, Redondo-Des Moines Marina pier and Dash Point pier in King County; and Illahee State Park and City piers, Waterman and Indianola piers in Kitsap County.
Other possibilities for squid are Clyde Davidson pier in Steilacoom; Luhr's Beach pier in Olympia; Port Townsend City Dock; Allyn City pier in Mason County; Port Angeles public-fishing piers; and Twanoh Park and Point Whitney piers in Hood Canal.
