Puget Sound
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 ...

''Burton'' was intended to compete with ''Norwood''. Once ''Burton'' was completed, daily competition for fares meant both steamers were racing each other from landing to landing. ''Norwood'' was soon replaced with the faster and newer ''Vashon'', and the racing continued with ''Burton'' every day until 1907, when ''Burton'' was replaced on the route by ''Magnolia''. ''Burton'' was sold to the Kitsap County Transportation Company (KCTC) in 1912. By 1924, ''Burton'' had been taken out of service, and was laid up in Gig Harbor Gig Harbor is the name of both a bay on Puget Sound and a city on its shore in Pierce County, Washington,.
