An inlet connected with Port Orchard Bay by Washington Narrows, directly north of Bremerton four miles east of Hood Canal is named Dyes Inlet. The Native American name was Squh-buck. Its present name was chosen by the Wilkes Expedition of 1841 for John W. W. Dyes, assistant taxidermist on the USS Vincennes.
