 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.
Seattle, the state's largest city, lies in the center of the Puget Sound region
and sits between Elliot Bay and Lake Washington. Across the Sound is Bainbridge
Island, the Kitsap Peninsula and Olympic Peninsula. To the east, and across
Lake Washington, is Seattle's near neighbor
Bellevue.
 Other major cities situated on the Sound include
Everett,
Olympia and Tacoma. On
the west side of the Sound are the cities of
Bremerton, Port Orchard and
Shelton.
The Puget Sound area offers a rich variety of vacation, recreational and holiday
pursuits including big-city life, island retreats, cozy bed and breakfasts,
romantic country inns and first class resorts. There is plenty of sightseeing,
Hiking, Kayaking, and boating activities to keep in shape and make one wish for
a longer Puget Sound holiday.
