I am assuming that you have a water craft suitable to the conditions that you will face on Puget Sound.
The Puget Sound is a popular fishery. There are many videos on YouTube that will help you. Some aren’t worth the time to watch, but several are seminars put on by professionals with really good information.
If you really want to learn the fishery then hire a guide. There is nothing wrong with letting them know that you are there to learn, but that is up to you.
Good Luck!
In addition to the above good advice, I suggest your first "lesson" is to become very familiar with the WDFW rule book. Because of the huge volume of pressure, the openings for all species are extremely limited. That is one of the main reasons that many Puget Sound fishermen travel a lot to other areas when openings occur. Favorites include the Strait of Juan de Fuca, Neah Bay, Westport and the Columbia River. It all depends on what you want to fish for and how far you're willing to trailer your boat.
