The Tillicum Village Experience

The 4-hour adventure to Tillicum Village on Blake Island State Park begins at Pier 55 on Seattle's Central Waterfront (Pier 55 Directions). Daily tours are available May-September. Relax and enjoy the magnificent scenery during the 50 minute cruise.

Upon arrival you will be welcomed by a path strewn with white clamshells bleached by the sun and greeted with an appetizer of steaming clams in nectar broth.

Inside the longhouse, watch as whole Chinook salmon are cooked over an alder-wood fire on cedar stakes in the traditional Northwest Coast Indian style.

Your meal is served buffet-style and includes a menu of Traditional Indian-style Baked Salmon, Warm Tillicum Whole Grain Bread, New Red Potatoes, Long-Grain and Wild Rice, Fresh Salad Bar and Boehms Chocolate Salmon Dessert. Coffee, tea, lemonade, soft drinks, wine and beer are available at an extra charge.

As you finish your meal, the lights dim while the myth and magic come to life in the spellbinding performance featuring the Tillicum Village dancers.

After the show, you have approximately 45 minutes to one hour of free time when you can watch carving demonstrations in the longhouse, visit our gift gallery featuring artwork of local artisans or stroll along the pristine beaches and many forested trails.
