Tillicum Village - A Puget Sound Treasure

Blake Island State Park and Tillicum Village are local treasures.

Blake Island is located in the middle of Puget Sound and the only access is via boat.

The entire island is included in Blake Island State Park.

Tillicum Village is at the north end of the island and is a private concession on the island.

You can go to Blake Island in your own boat and have the options of a small marina at the north end, several buoys around the island or with a smaller boat or kayak you can pull up on the beach.

There is also the option of taking one of the regularly scheduled boat trips from Seattle to the island.

Going to Tillicum Village for their famous salmon dinner and stage show is an option whether you arrive on your own or it can be a package deal with the boat ride from Seattle. You can also just go to the show, or get the dinner to go.

Whether you go with a group and take in the full experience of a boat trip, dinner, stage show and walk around the island or just go for the day or to camp and explore the more remote areas this treasure is not to be missed.

Within view of Seattle, Blake Island is a mostly undeveloped area with wildlife, hiking, biking, boating and views in every direction.

NEW this year - you can purchase a season pass and have unlimited access to the island including transportation. Check this, and other specials out here - Tillicum Village Specials

CAMP-BIKE-HIKE...HAVE FUN!
Blake Island is an adventure waiting for you. With gas prices skyrocketing, more people are looking for local activities that don't require a car trip.

Tillicum Village along with Seattle Climate Action Now is spreading the word to GIVE YOUR CAR THE SUMMER OFF!

Park your car and walk, hike or bus to Pier 55 on Seattle's Central Waterfront and catch a boat to Blake Island to camp, picnic, bike, hike or just play on the beach or come for the day and enjoy our World Famous Salmon Bake and Stage Show.

Dogs are welcome but must be kept on a leash and are not allowed in the longhouse area.
