The Puget Sound region is a coastal area of the Pacific Northwest in the U.S. state of Washington, including Puget Sound, the Puget Sound lowlands, and the surrounding region roughly west of the Cascade Range and east of the Olympic Mountains.fter arriving along the Oregon Trail, many settlers wandered north to what is now Washington and settled the Puget Sound area. The first non-indigenous settlement was New Market (now known as Tumwater) in 1846. In 1853 Washington Territory was formed from part of Oregon Territory.
Directly to the east of those hills and mountains, the Puget Sound Lowlands stretch south from the Canadian border to the Columbia River. This stretch of land is home to Washington's major cities. Puget Sound, lying to the west of Seattle, is a body of ocean water that provides access to the Pacific Ocean through the Strait of Juan de Fuca. It contains numerous channels, estuaries, inlets and islands-including the San Juan. East of those lowlands the majestic snow-capped Cascades rise into the sky. This range of (volcanic in origin) peaks includes Mt. Rainier, Washington's highest point, as well as many other major mountains including Mt. Adams, Mt. Baker, Glacier Peak, and Mt. St. Helens of 1980 eruption fame.
