Nisqually Reach

The Nisqually Reach is a portion of Puget Sound south of the Tacoma Narrows, near the Nisqually River delta. It is classified as a bay by the United States government.[1] It was originally defined as "the portion of the Sound lying between Anderson Island and the mainland".[2]

The Thurston–Pierce County line bisects the Reach.[3]
