He explored many places in his lifetime and one place was called puget sound, he named it that.
For discovering Vancouver
George Vancouver was an important explorer of Puget Sound. He served for 25 years in the British Navy, and commanded the Discovery on her expedition to the North Pacific. In April 1792, George Vancouver entered the Strait of Juan de Fuca and commenced his exploration of Puget Sound. He named every island, mountain, waterway, and point of land in sight -- 75 in tall.
