That's a slice of Puget Sound and why we have a lot of ferries here. Some can only be accessed by smaller watercraft. though. My Swedish uncle lived on one of the islands surrounding Stockholm growing up and they have ferries:



Stockholm, Sweden.

Forested areas are dark green, bare ground is brown, urban areas are grey, and water is black. Image created using NaturalVue data obtained from the Landsat 7 satellite.

You'll be living island life in a few years... or decades, I guess. Wonder if either side of the Golden Gate bridge will be flooded?

My dad lived in SF in the thirties and was in the parade marching when it opened. Just think of all the ferry rides you'll enjoy!

As the last ice age began to end, glaciers retreated, 'land' connections were lost as sea levels rose in the Atlantic and Pacific. In geological terms, this is not that big a thing except for us poor things trying find a place to live!

Hopefully this will be a long process with plenty of time for everyone to get re-located in time.
