Puget Sound ( ) is a sound of the Pacific Northwest, an inlet of the Pacific Ocean, and part of the Salish Sea. It is located along the northwestern coast of the U.S. state of Washington. 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. Water 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 from Deception Pass in the north to Olympia in the south. Its average depth is and its maximum depth, off Jefferson Point between Indianola and Kingston, is . The depth of the main basin, between the southern tip of Whidbey Island and Tacoma, is approximately . In 2009, the term Salish Sea was established by the United States Board o ...

Coupeville, Washington
Coupeville is a town on Whidbey Island, in Island County, Washington, United States. It is the county seat of Island County. The population was 1,831 at the 2010 census. History Prior to European colonization, Coupeville and the bay in which it is located, Penn Cove, was inhabited by the Lower Skagit, a Lushootseed-speaking Coast Salish people. There were three villages around the bay, with the largest being ''bəc̓adᶻali'', meaning "snake place", located at the site of present day Coupeville. There was an abundance of salmon, clams, and other resources, as well as offering easy access to the water, making it an excellent village site. When Europeans arrived to explore the Puget Sound, it was Joseph Whidbey who first visited the bay, naming it Penn Cove in honor of his good friend. Captain George Vancouver later wrote after meeting the Skagit at the village that their population had quickly fallen due to disease. Coupeville was laid out in the 1850s by Captain Thomas Coup ...

Albion (steamboat)
''Albion'' was a steamboat which ran on Puget Sound from 1898 to 1924. For part of its existence, ''Albion'' served as a beer delivery vessel for Washington state's Angeles Brewing and Malting Company. It was involved in a 1910 collision with the steamship ''Chippewa''. Career ''Albion'' was built at Coupeville, Washington by Capt. H.B. Lovejoy, who intended the vessel to be sold for service on the Yukon River according to one source or Cook Inlet according to another. Power was supplied by an innovative compound steam engine devised by R.D. Ross. According to a news report from 1910, ''Albion'' was actually taken up to Cook Inlet, but it was found that the headwaters of the inlet were too shallow to allow the vessel to operate, and so the ship was returned to Puget Sound. ''Albion'' was placed on the route from Seattle to Coupeville. ''Albion'' was the first steamer on the Seattle- Everett-Whidbey Island route. Lovejoy sold ''Albion'' to J.B. Treadwell in 1903, and he too ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
