 Puget Sound itself is a body of water
lying east of Admiralty Inlet, through which ocean waters reach inland some 50
miles from the Pacific Coast to provide all-weather ports for ocean-going ships
at Seattle, Tacoma and Olympia. The waterway is a complex and intricate system
of channels, inlets, estuaries, embayments and islands.
