This ESU includes populations of coastal cutthroat trout that enter protected marine waters in northwesern Washington, including all streams in Puget Sound and the Strait of Juan de Fuca west to, and including, the Elwha River. The northern boundary for this ESU is unclear, but appears to extend into southern British Columbia to include populations along eastern Georgia Strait north of Vancouver.
