Locations of Salish Sea foot discoveries through January 3, 2019. Since August 20, 2007, at least 20 detached human feet have been found on the coasts of the Salish Sea in British Columbia, Canada, and Washington, US. The first discovery, on August 20, 2007, was on Jedediah Island in British Columbia.
The Salish Sea contains more than 400 islands, most of which can be grouped into one of three island groups: the Discovery Islands, Gulf Islands, and San Juan Islands. Whidbey Island in Washington is the largest and most populous island with a total area of 436.9 km 2 (168.7 sq mi) and an estimated population of 69,480 as of 2010.
The depth of the main basin, between the southern tip of Whidbey Island and Tacoma, is approximately 600 feet (180 m). [3] In 2009, the term Salish Sea was established by the United States Board on Geographic Names as the collective waters of Puget Sound, the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and the Strait of Georgia.
The Discovery Islands are a group of islands located at the northern end of the Salish Sea and the eastern end of Johnstone Strait, between Vancouver Island and the mainland coast of British Columbia, Canada.
Making Salish Sea official required a formal application to the Geographical Names Board of Canada. [14] A parallel American movement promoting the name had a different definition, combining of the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Puget Sound as well as the Strait of Georgia and related waters under the more general name Salish Sea. [15]
Haro Strait and other waters flanking the Gulf Islands and San Juans were the home of Straits Salish peoples including the Lummi, Saanich, and Klallam, but the route's natural importance as a regional waterway made it also an important sea-route for raiding and also for regular trade for all marine peoples of the Northwest Coast.
My main concerns are whether Whidbey Island and Tacoma are considered to be on the Salish sea. (SSJPabs 07:55, 12 January 2011 (UTC)) I worried about Tacoma too, but the article Salish Sea says it includes Puget Sound. —Tamfang 05:28, 13 January 2011 (UTC) A month goes by.
The History of the Coast Salish, a group of Native American ethnicities on the Pacific coast of North America bound by a common culture, kinship, and languages, dates back several millennia. Their artifacts show great uniformity early on, with a discernible continuity that in some places stretches back more than seven millennia.
