East Sound is how we describe the catchments on the Cascade Slope of the Central Puget Sound Sub-Basin, including the Puyallup-White Watershed, the Green-Duwamish Watershed and Cedar-Sammamish Watershed. This is among the most densely populated and developed landscapes in the Salish Sea, with large areas of Urban and Industrial Land Use. This includes the almost complete loss of the Puyallup and Duwamish River Deltas, and the two largest CERCLA sites in Puget Sound. This includes a large number of contiguous Municipalities within King County and Pierce County. The White, Green, and Cedar rivers all have dams for water supply, flood control, or hydroelectric production. For all these reasons this social-ecological system could be considered as a single Megapolis. These are the usual and accustomed areas of the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe and the Puyallup Tribe of Indians as well as the Duwamish Tribe which has not been given federal recognition, and the Suquamish Tribe more centered on West Sound region on the other side of the water. The South Puget Sound is located to the south, and Whidbey Basin and Admiralty Inlet to the north and northwest, respectively. Shorelines are heavily Armored and deforested. Large volumes of Stormwater are flushed into Puget Sound during each rain event. Large volumes of Waste Water contribute to Nutrient Pollution. River headwater areas are in Forestry and Conservation, with state forests managed by Washington State Department of Natural Resources and federal forests by US Forest Service and National Park Service.
