There are no refineries on Puget Sound. None on USGS maps or NOAA navigation charts of Puget Sound, even Captain George Vancouver who made the first navigation chart of Puget Sound when he discovered it back in the 1792. In 1792 George Vancouver gave the name "Puget's Sound" to the waters south of the Tacoma Narrows, in honor of Peter Puget, a Huguenot lieutenant accompanying him on the Vancouver Expedition. This name later came to be used for the waters north of Tacoma Narrows as well. [5] The USGS defines Puget Sound as all the waters south of three entrances—the main entrance at Admiralty Inlet being a line between Point Wilson, on the Olympic Peninsula, and Point Partridge, on Whidbey Island; a second entrance at Deception Pass being a line from West Point, on Whidbey Island, to Deception Island and Rosario Head, on Fidalgo Island; and a third entrance at the south end of the Swinomish Channel, which connects Skagit Bay and Padilla Bay. [6] Under this definition, Puget Sound includes the waters of Hood Canal, Admiralty Inlet, Possession Sound, Saratoga Passage, and others. It does not include Bellingham Bay, Padilla Bay, the waters of the San Juan Islands or anything farther north. en.wikipedia.org Puget Sound's four basins: NOAA Nautical chart of Northern Puget Sound: charts.noaa.gov Entire Puget Sound, North and South: charts.noaa.gov
