The Salish Sea runs roughly from Vancouver, BC to Port Angeles, WA.

Oh my goodnes!
I LOVE this post! @Dahlia this is so beautiful. I am a wind and water person, seeing the ocean is a dream of mine.

It also includes Puget Sound. The Salish Sea was introduced as a concept about 40 years ago and pretty much covers the territory of the Salish people (from what I understand). @MeanCheek

gotta admit, Puget is kinda a strange name ... moreover, i suspect that us Americans are not pronouncing it correctly.

Well that's a rabbit hole! HA! Turns out Puget Sound was named for Peter Puget, second lieutenant in George Vancouver's (British) 1792 expedition of the area. The Salish called it Whulge.Wait! @MeanCheek has Salish neighbors in western Montana

I didn't realize they lived so far inland.
