good shore fishing for newcomer?

Hi all, I recently moved to Seattle and I would like to get into fishing here. I am not looking for big game fish; the fishing I did on the east coast was mainly for blue gill and crappie with a bobber and a worm on a hook. Very simply setup: we would hike out a few miles to the location, sit on a r...
