We have wonderful access to the waterfront

Having just returned from a wonderful, solitary walk with my dog on Everett’s waterfront, I am puzzled where the people who cry for access to the water are. We go every day, cloudy or sunny, and are amazed if we see more than two or three people walking or jogging. The Port of Everett has made a beautiful path around Marina Village with an additional 3 to 5 mile walk along Marine View Drive or down around the North Marina. The access is there, but where are the people?
