- The Carr Inlet is a bay that almost seems like a strait in the southern Puget Sound west of Tacoma. It runs counterclockwise north-south with Key Peninsula on the east and Gig Harbor Peninsula on the west. The north side of the bay connects to Henderson Bay, which in turn connects to Burley Lagoon. The southern end connects to Nisqually Reach. Before Nisqually Reach, it connects to Hale Passage around Fox Island to the east, and it connects to Pitt Passage around McNeil island to the west.
