  • Possession Sound je záliv, který je částí Pugetova zálivu. Nachází se ve státě Washington mezi Whidbeyho ostrovem a pevninským okresem Snohomish, konkrétně městy Everett a Mukilteo. Na sever od zálivu se nachází Susanina zátoka a na jihu Saratožská pasáž. Řeka proudí do zálivu přes Gardnerovu zátoku. V zálivu se nachází také . Záliv byl pojmenován v roce 1792 Georgem Vancouverem. Ten zde 3. června toho roku přistál, aby na území dnešního Everettu oslavil narozeniny krále Jiřího III. a aby uvedl území do anglického držení (angl. Possession). Kvůli časovým pásmum ale ve skutečnosti oslavoval královy narozeniny o den dříve, než měl. Na oslavě také pojmenoval Gardnerovu zátoku, Port Susan a Strait of Georgia. V roce 1825 do zálivu spadl kus Caamañova ostrova. Událost vyústila v tsunami, které následně utopilo mnoho indiánů žijících na Gedneyho ostrově. Od té doby ho kmen Tulalipů využívá jen sezónně. spojuje v nejúžším místě zálivu města a Mukilteo pomocí trajektové dopravy. (cs)

Gedney Island, also called Hat Island, is located in Possession Sound. Possession Sound was named by George Vancouver. On June 3, 1792, Vancouver landed near the present site of Everett and celebrated the birthday of George III by holding a ceremony claiming possession of the land of "New Georgia" for Britain. Due to his circumnavigation of the world, Vancouver's dates are off by one. June 3 was, by his reckoning, June 4, the king's birthday. His possession ceremony also involved the naming of Possession Sound, Port Gardner, Port Susan, and the Gulf of Georgia. In 1825 a large piece of the southern tip of Camano Island slid into Possession Sound—an event known as the Great Slide. A resultant tsunami from the slide drowned many Indian residents of nearby Hat Island. After that, the Tulalip Indians used the site only for seasonal clamming. The Washington State Route 525, Mukilteo-Clinton passenger ferry run crosses the narrowest section of Possession Sound. (en)
