Overview

Jetty Island is located close to the city of Everett, just north of Seattle. Everett is well known for the location of the Boeing Aircraft factory. Everett also has a large Naval Base.
 
IMPORTANT: Jetty Island is separated from the mainland by a 200m wide channel and is only accessible by boat. There is a ferry in the summer, but the last ferry from the island to the mainland is at 5pm when the wind picks up. To access Jetty island, you will require a SUP or a boat.
Jetty Island is a great kiting sport, large sandy beach and great thermal winds in the summer from about March to October.
Jetty Island is perfect for beginners and experts.

Parking

Lot's of parking available by the boat launch. Day pass costs about $5

Hazards

There are no specific dangers on Jetty. The current is strong and staying upwind can be a challenge. But there is plenty of beach to land and walk back to the launch area.
In the summer when the ferry is running, watch for swimmers and other beach users.
Foilers be aware of the shallow water.

Wind specificities

On a typical Jetty day, the wind picks up in the mid afternoon when the interior is warm enough and the thermals draw in the air from the Puget Sound. Typically a NW wind, 15 to 20 knots. Wind dies down around sunset.
