On a recent Sunday, some friends took pity on the boat-less Travelmarx and took us across the Puget Sound (starting point: Shilshole) for brunch in Suquamish on the Kitsap Peninsula just north of Bainbridge Island. We ate at the delicious Agate Pass Café. Afterwards, we took the short walk up the hill to Chief Seattle’s tombstone. Chief Seattle (also spelled Sealth, See-alth, and Seathl) (c. 1780 – 1866) is famous as an important Northwest leader and namesake of Seattle. The chief’s baptismal name was Noah.
Suquamish, which means “place of clear salt water” in Chief Seattle’s Lushootsee language, is located in the Port Madison Indian Reservation, home to the Suquamish tribe.
