My assumption, the difference between Kingston and Edmonds is due to location. Along the East side of Puget Sound, there are numerous rivers, and especially during winter, we have extra high flows of dirty water. This likely makes less than ideal conditions for the squid "dirty water, lower salinity due to fresh water influx". JUST MY OPINION

I think your assumption is valid. Everytimewhen we have heavy rain and murky flood water in the Elliott bay, all the squid dissapear. I don't blame them when I see the brown dirty water flowing from the rivers. The low tide didn't help much either. I'm sure they will be back when the high tide pushes in some clear saltwater from the sound next week.
