The Whidbey Basin is one of 7 sub-basins of Puget Sound identified in the PSNERP study and is commonly referenced in studies. The ecosystem stewardship communities in this area often interact. This region encompasses the largest Floodplain areas devoted to Agriculture that have not be consumed by The Megapolis and account for 60% of the freshwater flow in Puget Sound, including the Skagit and Snohomish catchments. The This Whidbey Basin includes the northern extent of Lushootseed-speaking peoples. While the Samish Indian Nation are Northern Straits Salish speakers, the Swinomish Inidian Tribal Community, Upper Skagit Indian Tribe, Sauk-Suiattle Indian Tribe, Stillaguamish Tribe are Northern Lushootseed-speaking, with a transition to Southern Lushootseed among the Tulalip Tribes of Washington, and Snoqualmie Indian Tribe. This area of big rivers defines much of Skagit County and Snohomish County. Settlement is organized around river towns, that generally get smaller as you head up river to the cascade crest. The Snohomish, Stevens, and Washington-Rainy passes provided trade over the mountains to the Columbia Basin since time before memory. To the North, over Chuckanut Mountain and into the Nooksack is the Fraser Lowland Region and the boundary between the USA and Canada. To the south is East Sound dominated by The Megapolis, creating a irreversible northward pressure of continuous Urban Landuse. The regional boundaries are a little awkward, because the The Samish Watershed is clearly related by Landform and social economy to the Skagit Watershed but does not drain to the basin defined by Whidbey Island. The Stillaguamish is entwined in the Skagit farming networks, but is in Snohomish County. The Snohomish basin has many connections to East Sound and The Megapolis to the south. In addition, Whidbey Island is clearly a coherent place, but is excessively split by a basin-referencing schema.
