Puget Island, Washington
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Puget Island is a 19.365 km² (4,785 acre) island and rural community in the Columbia River in Wahkiakum County, Washington. The Julia Butler Hansen Bridge (built in 1938) carries Washington State Route 409 across the Cathlamet Channel to connect the island to the town of Cathlamet, Washington. Route 409 crosses the island to its southern shore, where it connects with the county-operated Wahkiakum County Ferry, Wahkiakum, providing service to Westport, Oregon. The 2000 census reported a population of 798 persons.
Puget Island's Robert W. Little Preserve is home to a population of endangered Columbian White-tailed Deer. [1]
