What you will find:
In response to warm and wet conditions, rivers have been running high. Salinity in Puget Sound and coastal Bays are notably lower. Below a cooler surface, water temperatures remain high especially in Hood Canal.  We still see numerous Jellyfish patches in Puget Sound inlets. Phytoplankton blooms are going strong in Hood Canal and Henderson Inlet and pick up elsewhere. Many places on Monday showed long stretches of suspended sediments nearshore a sign of potential shore erosion. Check out critters inhabiting the sediments of Puget Sound.
