[Paddlewise] Puget Sound Tide Tables

I am planning a trip to Hood Canal, Puget Sound, and San Juans in August.  
Randal Washburne's guide emphasizes the importance of having tide and current 
tables for the area's you plan to paddle.  He mention's Island Canoe 
Company's "Current and Tide Tables ..." as a good reference source.  Since I 
am only going to be paddling for 2-3 weeks I have a couple of questions.

1.  Is there a weekly or monthly periodical that I could get when I get up 
there that would have the information I need for the couple of weeks I will 
be there?

2.  If #1 is no, can I pick up a copy of Island Canoe Company's tables when I 
get there?  (Since they are annual tables I was concerned that there might be 
limited availability by August).

3. If #2 is no where could I order one now.  I checked Amazon and they had 
1997 and 1998 versions listed, but no 2000 editions.

4. Is there any other tide/current related tables, guides, etc. that I should 
consider?  Down here the max tide range is about 2 feet (usually less than 1 
ft) and tidal currents are minimal if they exist at all. My lack of 
experience with tides and tidal currents makes me a little concerned about 
getting into trouble in Puget Sound or the San Juans.
