Oyster Bay, Washington

Oyster Bay is an inlet in southern Puget Sound which branches off from Totten Inlet. Kennedy Creek empties into the bay at the U.S. Highway 101 overpass. It is one of the most productive chum salmon runs in the state with over 40,000 spawners a year, estimated to be two-thirds of the run that would exist without human impacts. The bay is the site of one of only four oyster reserves in Puget Sound where the Olympia oyster grows.
