Another way to find the Samish East 90s is to take Bayview Edison Rd west
out of Edison (the turn west just at the south end of town) & drive west
(maybe a mile) to where the road takes a sharp left turn to the south --
from that turn to the next sharp turn (right-hand turn back to the west)
the marsh to your left is essentially the core of the Samish east 90s, tho
the area from that second turn where Bayview Edison Rd heads west again to
the intersection with Samish Island Rd is also included. to make sense of
this, open Google Maps & search on Edison WA, then just follow the only
road that goes west out of town.

this for those of sufficiently old-fashioned that we need visual maps.
