Stanwood, WA, Marine Drive boat launch

Any tips on launching from the boat launch next to the Marine Drive bridge over the Stilli?  How's the current generally for a trip downstream to the salt and back?  How does this part of the lower Stilli react to tides?

 48° 12.704'N 122° 20.364'W

 The currents not bad on the ebb. Just remember that once you get out of the river itself its mudflat city at the lower tides. Good crabbing during season and some good gator fishing on occasion.
