The Salish Sea does not appear on official government maps. It is the traditional homeland of the Coast Salish Native People. The sea includes the waterways officially named: Puget Sound, the Strait of Georgia, and the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
Please explore the region with this interactive satellite map. Since the wayfaring.com site must acquire the map from Google, the process of loading the map sometimes takes a few seconds. It is an interactive Google map, so you may click and drag to see the areas beyond the first view, and you can zoom in and out. Click the Map button to change it from a satellite view to a road map with place names.

Greetings,
First– best wishes for a speedy recovery!
I stumbled across your blog tonight as I was Googling for information on, of course… the Salish Sea. I’m thrilled to find a northern neighbor blogging about the same daily joys of local flora and fauna that I gush on about within my own blog. I live on San Juan Island, and my small offering to virtual tourism is “Notes from the Kelp.” Since you probably will be sitting around a tad more in the coming days, I thought you might enjoy some of the posts. We are indeed very, very fortunate to call this corner of the planet home.
I look forward to checking back in on your musings often,
Cheers,
Alex
Alex, thanks for dropping by. I am really enjoying “Notes” and will probably read all of it. Awesome music! I have added a link to Notes in my Blogroll, and the URL to my aggregator. Best wishes… rjb
