About the event
Based on his award-winning book, "Homewaters: A Human and Natural History of Puget Sound", David Williams will tell the long story of the Sound, tracing human history from the earliest records more than 12,500 years ago to present. He will consider often overlooked species such as Olympia oysters, rockfish, geoduck, kelp, and herring, as well as salmon and orca. Witty, graceful, and deeply informed, his talk presents a fascinating and hopeful narrative, one that will introduce newcomers to the astonishing life that inhabits Puget Sound and offers longtime residents new insights into and appreciation of the waters they call home.
