David B. Williams will be speaking about Homewaters: A Human and Natural History of Puget Sound, which tells the long story of the Sound, tracing human history from the earliest records more than 12,500 years ago to present. In the book, he discusses Native people, the arrival of explorers and settlers, and how the various inhabitants adapted to place. He also weave in stories of the natural world, covering often overlooked species such as Olympia oysters, rockfish, geoduck, kelp, and herring, as well as the influence of salmon and orca on the Sound.
