- the largest body of inland water on the west coast of the United States
What did you mean by that? --Ed Poor Talk 14:10, 23 May 2008 (EDT)
- Exactly what I say. You have a point about Great Salt Lake, but that is not on the west coast, in the most strict definition of the term. Though it is, certainly, in the western United States. The west coast, being the coastline, incorporates Puget Sound but not Salt Lake. The only rival in the US to Puget Sound, I believe, is San Francisco Bay, which is smaller. I see how it can be a bit confusing, and I have no problem with that statement being removed. But please do understand I am not intentionally being misleading or confusing.
