PORT ORCHARD

'Port Orchard', part of Washington state's Puget Sound, is the strait that separates Bainbridge Island on the east from the Kitsap Peninsula on the west. It extends from Liberty Bay and Agate Pass in the north to Sinclair Inlet and Rich Passage in the south. It was named by George Vancouver after Harry Masterman Orchard, ship's clerk of Vancouver's ship ''Discovery''.^[1]
The city of Port Orchard is named after the waterbody.
