This sculpture, along with twelve others placed at strategic locations in the counties bordering the Puget
Sound, was commissioned by the Puget Sound Water Quality Action Team (PSWQAT) to commemorate
citizens' environmental efforts to restore and preserve the local watersheds. The salmon and cedar
embossed images and bronze oyster apex are indicative of the Puget Sound. A map of Puget Sound,
engraved in the bronze oyster, links the individual structures together to form the boundary of Puget
Sound.
The bronze stripe on the side reads: "To honor the caring citizens, governments, tribes and businesses of
Jefferson County for lasting stewardship of Puget Sound. Puget Sound Water Quality Authority 1996."
