Description

The only way to get to Blake Island, a state park, is by boat. This made it a safe place for the 1993 APEC conference, where President Bill Clinton met with 14 Asian leaders. The most popular facility on the island is Tillicum Village, which features the Northwest Coast Indian Cultural Center & Restaurant. Half-day boat trips depart from Pier 55 in Seattle and include a traditional Indian salmon bake, dancing, and a film about Northwest Native Americans. After the meal, you'll have time for a short hike or a bit of souvenir shopping.
