Washington Environmental Council and Braided River partner to launch a free photo exhibit called, We Are Puget Sound at Port Townsend Marine Science Center’s Flagship Building downtown from December 18, 2021 to February 2022.

We Are Puget Sound amplifies the voices and ideas behind preserving and protecting Puget Sound.
The photo exhibit, will present 18 striking images from the book We Are Puget Sound: Discovering and Recovering the Salish Sea (Braided River, 2019); a book that features more than 20 regional photographers and showcases the many individuals working to find meaningful solutions to protect the Puget Sound’s waters, wildlife, and the human health and economic prosperity that this region supports.

The Puget Sound region is the lifeblood for urban and rural communities in British Columbia, Washington State, and fifty-plus Tribal Nations and First Nations that rely on economic opportunities, cultural significance, and a high quality of life defined by this rich inland sea. This astonishingly beautiful waterway surrounded by mountains and forests also supports resident and migrating marine life—notably two iconic, interdependent endangered species: Southern Resident orcas and Chinook salmon.
