Admiralty Inlet
The Admiralty Inlet Region is slated for deprication on the wiki. It was created during the PSNERP study to define an area between the Puget Sound basin and the Strait of Juan de Fuca. It unfortunately results in a oceanic oriented definition of place, while arbitrarily dividing land in an awkward way, splitting Whideby Island down the middle, splitting Jefferson County between two basins, and confusingly slicing off the terminus of the Kitsap Peninsula. The final revision would give Whidbey Island to the Whidbey Basin region, leave Kitsap split between West Sound and Hood Canal and split Strait of Juan de Fuca and Hood Canal somewhere just north of the Hood Canal Bridge.
Admiralty Inlet is the passage which connects the Strait of Juan de Fuca to Hood Canal and the northern extent of West Sound. It is a somewhat ambiguous ecological place with no major watersheds, and ambiguous boundaries. It is a hallway with many closets. It includes the Port Townsend Ecosystem and Morrowstone Island and Indian Island, as well as a portion of the west coast of Whidbey Island. It might be extended toward the Strait to include the Discovery Bay Ecosystem or even Sequim Bay. It likely includes Point-no-point on north Kitsap County, but may reach down to the Port Gamble Ecosystem if you use the Hood Canal Bridge as the extent of Hood Canal.
For the purposes of wiki organization I suspect we could use the line between Fort Warden and Fort Casey as a meaningful line.
