Tillamook Bay

Tillamook Bay is a tidal estuary on the Oregon coast, where rivers from forested hills meet the Pacific. The Salish-speaking Tillamook people lived around the bay and traded with neighboring coastal communities, including the Nehalem and Clatsop. In 1788 Robert Gray came ashore from the #italic Lady Washington#! to obtain supplies. Lewis and Clark later noted the quality of the canoes made by the Tillamook.
