EDiS – Environments/Habitats - #13 - “Marsh”
Most of the land around the edges of Puget Sound are zero, or nearly sea level, marshes, sloughs and tidal flats. The sloughs look like rivers and creeks, but they are really tidal flows, ebbing and surging with the sea tides. The little town of Bow, in a bend of the Edison Slough in Skagit County on the east side of the Sound, is a perennial favorite day-drive destination for people from Seattle to Canada, often with a side trip to Whidbey Island or Anacortes. Funky little shops, hot loaves of fragrant, fresh bread from the Breadfarm Bakery, a bottle of wine and selection of cheeses from Slough Foods, while watching the sunset from the deck by water's edge, all make a for a memorable day.
