Pigeon Creek Beach Trailhead and Parking — Attraction in Everett

I just read a 2020 article from the Herald that was quite negative about the trail and beach and it inspired me to say something. Yes there is chain link fence on both sides of the trail which made me feel more safe as it would keep homeless rail side campers on the rail side. I frequently walk my dogs down there and see many bikers , runners and walkers.
