Olympic Beach — Attraction in Edmonds

This is a wonderful park for us walkers, but it is also an underwater park. Its interesting to see divers on their way to the underwater park. I have seen them preparing to go in, have seen them in the water and coming out with all the equipment which children find so fascinating.
