Just before fishermen enter the greater Seattle Ship Canal they make their run through the amazing Puget Sound; it’s a coastal area of the Pacific Northwest surrounding regions roughly west of the Cascade Range and Olympic Mountains. It is characterized by a complex areas of saltwater bays, islands, sounds and peninsulas carved out by prehistoric glaciers. It’s freaking amazing!
