Great topic! Call me the urban fisherman. Grew up and raised in Seattle, but, learned how to fish for shiners on the piers around 4, then went to work on my uncles' farm in Auburn at age 9 and he would take me down on the Green and fished for trout! Not steelies, but, trout in the 60's on the Green. Use to be many access until the the trash and vandalism got bad so farmers along the Green stopped that. Then learned salmon fishing at Pt. Defiance for blackmouth only. Didn't start on Kings after a few yrs. then figured out fishing is just as good in Elliot bay too! Now I'm a nomad fishing on the Columbia to the O.P.
Yet I'm only 5 mins. to Armeni or 5mins. to Stan Sayers.....go figure.
