Blake Island

Our last boating trip of the season a few weeks ago was to Blake Island, just 7 miles South and West of Seattle. You can see the Seattle skyline from the Island. This is a really popular place among boaters and the marina commonly fills up. Unfortunately - even though it was past the busy boating season for the area the marina was still full. So, we pulled into the bay, dropped the anchor and had lunch. It was so peaceful listening to waves hit shore behind us, watch other boats pass by and look at the changing colors around us. After eating lunch we sprawled out on the back seats and soaked up some sunshine.

Blake Island is a marine park, meaning the only access is by private boat or tour boat. The island has an Indian village on it, called Tillicum Village, where they have salmon bakes and traditional Native American dances.

We will go back next year for sure!!!
