Meet the tour group at Pier 55 on Seattle’s Central Waterfront to begin this 4-hour excursion to Tillicum Village in Blake Island State Park. From the waterfront, it’s a scenic 45-minute, live-narrated cruise to Tillicum Village.
Upon arrival, enjoy some steamed clams as an appetizer before dinner. Inside the cedar longhouse, watch fish being carefully prepared over open fires — the way it has been for centuries — before a buffet dinner with Northwestern cuisine is served. After the meal, sit back and watch an incredible stage performance that combines Coast Salish storytelling and traditional Native American dance. Tillicum Village is the only place in the world to see these dances and hear these songs, performed by the dancers whose families have owned them for generations.
After the show, choose from any number of different activities: Explore the beaches or forest trails, watch a wood-carving demonstration or visit the gift shop and take a tour of the artwork in the back garden and around the facility. Those are just a few of the possibilities before the return voyage to Seattle’s waterfront.

Chihuly Garden and Glass is an exhibit in the Seattle Center showcasing the studio glass of Dale Chihuly. Located next to the Space Needle at the Seattle Center. " 'Genius' - We have been fans of Dale Chihuly for years and have seen his work placed in a number of locations, including David's Tower in Jerusalem. The interior rooms are wonderful with their large and dramatic setups. The exterior spaces feature the glasswork integrated into a garden setting. We went in the late afternoon and were able to enjoy the garden illuminated. All I can say is - Wow! The glasswork is very organic in style and they've created wonderful settings to enjoy the art.'
