To look for potentially concerning chemicals in Puget Sound, researchers at the University of Washington and UW Tacoma collected water from 18 regions (marked by red diamonds) -- from Port Townsend to Olympia -- of Puget Sound's nearshore, meaning the team collected the water samples while standing on docks or the shore, not a boat.
