Got my 4 tickets today at Boaters World Bellevue for me and the crew. Got the right end unlike above. I am bringing the lucky wife.

Next Year, you can tie up in Edmonds, get your fish weighed and hang around for the ceremonies then take off. Shouldn't be a problem. Be prepared to raft up though. Might not be as bad this year because fish can be weighed in Everett and there is temp moorage available there too.
