Puget Sound/ˈpjuːdʒɪt/ is a sound along the northwestern coast of the U.S. state of Washington, an inlet of the Pacific Ocean, and part of the Salish Sea. It is a complex estuarine system of interconnected marine waterways and basins, with one major and two minor connections to the open Pacific Ocean via the Strait of Juan de Fuca—Admiralty Inlet being the major connection and Deception Pass and Swinomish Channel being the minor. Flow through Deception Pass is approximately equal to 2% of the total tidal exchange between Puget Sound and the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Puget Sound extends approximately 100 miles (160km) from Deception Pass in the north to Olympia, Washington in the south. Its average depth is 450 feet (140m) and its maximum depth, off Point Jefferson between Indianola and Kingston, is 930 feet (280m). The depth of the main basin, between the southern tip of Whidbey Island and Tacoma, Washington, is approximately 600 feet (180m).
The term "Puget Sound" is used not just for the body of water but also the Puget Sound region centered on the sound.
The corridor runs 156 miles (251km) from Vancouver, British Columbia south to Seattle, Washington, continuing 310 miles (500km) south via Portland, Oregon to Eugene, Oregon. Two daily trains travel to and from Vancouver, with Seattle or Portland as its starting or ending point; supplemental Thruway Motorcoach service connects travelers from Vancouver to trains heading south from Seattle, as well as providing additional service between Portland and Eugene, and connections to other Amtrak Thruway destinations in Washington and Oregon. The second daily service between Seattle and Vancouver, BC started on August 19, 2009.As of December 2011 four trains run daily between Seattle and Portland, with two of those providing service to Eugene.
Seattle (i/siˈætəl/) is a West Coast seaport city and the seat of King County. With an estimated 662,400 residents as of 2015, Seattle is the largest city in both the state of Washington and the Pacific Northwest region of North America. In July 2013 it was the fastest-growing major city in the United States, and remained in the top five in May 2015 with an annual growth rate of 2.1%. The Seattle metropolitan area of around 3.6million inhabitants is the 15th largest metropolitan area in the United States. The city is situated on an isthmus between Puget Sound (an inlet of the Pacific Ocean) and Lake Washington, about 100 miles (160km) south of the Canada–United States border. A major gateway for trade with Asia, Seattle is the third largest port in North America in terms of container handling as of 2015.
The Seattle area was previously inhabited by Native Americans for at least 4,000 years before the first permanent European settlers.Arthur A. Denny and his group of travelers, subsequently known as the Denny Party, arrived from Illinois via Portland, Oregon on the schooner Exact at Alki Point on November 13, 1851. The settlement was moved to the eastern shore of Elliott Bay and named "Seattle" in 1852, after Chief Si'ahl of the local Duwamish and Suquamish tribes.
"Seattle" is a song, which was composed by Hugo Montenegro and whose lyrics were written by Jack Keller and Ernie Sheldon, which was used as the theme for the 1968-70ABC-TV U.S. television show Here Come the Brides, which was situated in 19th-Century Seattle, Washington.
Performances
Late in the show's first season, singer Perry Como recorded a version of the song, which became a Top 40 hit for him on the Billboard Hot 100 singles charts in early 1969. One of the stars of Here Come the Brides, pop singer Bobby Sherman, also recorded a version of the song, but his version was never released as a single.
Two different versions were used as the theme for the television series, for both of which Montenegro conducted an in-studio orchestra: the first was instrumental; and the second was vocal, with its lyrics being sung by a musical team called "The New Establishment."
"Seattle" is sung by the Seattle Sounders FC's supporter groups, during matches, specifically at the kickoff of each half.
Seattle was Perry Como's first attempt at a contemporary 60's sound. The album's opening track, "Happiness Comes, Happiness Goes" features distorted guitars and swirling organs.
The hills and lakes of Seattle, Washington are a direct result of multiple Puget Lobe advances during the Ice Age. Beneath the drumlins, outwash, glacial troughs, and scattered glacial erratics lies the Seattle Fault, an active fault which has produced numerous magnitude 6 or higher earthquakes since the Ice Age.
Interstate 90 exposes much of this geology in its first few miles heading east from downtown. The freeway begins on old tidelands that were filled by early residents of Seattle. Hills composed of soft glacial deposits were moved and dumped into Elliot Bay to make new land for a growing city. Today’s SODO district - including stadiums for the Seattle Seahawks and Seattle Mariners - sits on filled tidelands that are especially prone to seismic shaking during the next big ear...
New maps show how a tsunami could impact Seattle and inland Puget Sound
Could a tsunami, which starts miles off Washington’s coast, make its way deep into Puget Sound or Hood Canal? New maps from the Washington Geological Survey show it's likely.
Parts of low-lying Bellingham could find themselves under nearly 11 feet of water. Part of the Snohomish River Delta between Everett and Marysville could get nearly six feet and Seattle’s Harbor Island could be inundated with nearly four feet of water.
The maps show slightly lower effects in the south Sound, with the Port of Tacoma getting three-and-a-half feet and low-lying areas of Olympia could receive six inches.
The area that could see the worst inundation is Belfair, at the tip of Hood Canal, which could see depths of 14 feet. https://www.king5.com/article/weather/earthquakes/new-maps-show-how-...

Ice Age Lakes between Seattle and the Cascade Range
Interstate 90 between Seattle and North Bend, Washington rolls through outstanding scenery created during the Ice Age - and by the Seattle Fault. Glacial Lake Sammamish, Issaquah’s Lakeside Pit, North Bend’s Grouse Ridge, and Renton’s Coal Fields are all featured. Field evidence for the 900 AD earthquake on the Seattle Fault earthquake is also included.
Tom Foster (http://HUGEfloods.com) and Nick Zentner (Central Washington University) have been hiking together in Washington for years. This ’Seattle Glacial Lakes’ episode is part of an ‘I-90 Rocks’ video series, a new project in addition to their popular ‘2 Minute Geology’ video series.

everybody came and went summers number one event left early on and spent the next day sinking we should just live here the water looks so clear an unholy union bubbles she blew then let us all down sit the wrong way on a train two of these will ease her pain find someone else to blame and come back Tuesday hasn't she grown so you weren't around? oh... hasn't she grown so you weren't around? oh... you don't even know me but yes you can hold me how does that sound? driving round the Puget Sound find you at the lost and found it's easy to astound if someone needs you but there's a bright side you could say you tried you don't even know me but yes you can hold me how does that sound? but there's a bright side
