 The U.S. Board on Geographic Names has adopted the name Salish Sea for the inland waters that stretch from Olympia north to Canada’s Desolation Sound.
Lou Yost, the board’s executive secretary, said the name was approved during mid-November, meaning Salish Sea can now be added to maps and other materials.
