About Puget Sound
Puget Sound is technically most southerly part of what was once known to early settlers as the Salish Sea. Now officially referred to by geography buffs as the Georgia Basin, this inland sea spanning from Olympia, Washington to Campbell River, BC encompasses several names--The Straits of Juan de Fuca, San Juan Islands, Gulf Islands, Georgia Straits, and Discovery Islands to name a few. From our perspective, it's all part of the greater Puget Sound region. This section of our directory is dedicated to providing you with information about this amazing inland sea.
