Kitsap Bay

Port Gamble Bay opens into Hood Canal at the northern end of the Kitsap Peninsula. S’Klallam communities lived along the bay, fishing and gathering food in the waters and forests around the canal. Suquamish villages lay farther south along Agate Passage and the inlets of Puget Sound. In 1792 George Vancouver's expedition entered these sheltered waterways and charted Hood Canal and Port Orchard.
