Native Dinner and a Cruise
Wednesday, August 31, 2005
Tillicum Village involves taking a boat tour from downtown Seattle to Blake Island. Blake Island is essentially a park reserve island in Elliot Bay. The boat ride to the island takes 30 minutes or so. It is a fun, narrated tour describing various sites along the way. It's also a pretty way to see the city from a different perspective.
The dinner at Tillicum Village is basically a salmon dinner meant to evoke a potlatch. There is a dinner show of Native American dancers and storytelling. It can feel a bit hokey, but tourists, kids and grandparents especially seem to have a really good time.
