This broad rolling lowland is characterized by a mild maritime climate. It occupies a continental glacial trough and is composed of many islands, peninsulas, and bays in the Puget Sound area. Coniferous forests originally grew on the ecoregion’s ground moraines, outwash plains, floodplains, and terraces. The distribution of forest species is affected by the rainshadow from the Olympic Mountains. Douglas-fir, western hemlock, western red cedar, grand fir, red alder, and bigleaf maple are common forest components. A few small areas of oak woodlands occur in drier locations.
