Blake Island (Lushootseed: tatču)[3] is a Puget Sound island in Kitsap County, Washington, United States, that is preserved as Blake Island Marine State Park.[4] The island lies north of Vashon Island, south of Bainbridge Island, and east of Manchester.[2] On the northeast end of the island is Tillicum Village, a tourist attraction based on Northwest Coast Indian arts, culture, and food. The park is managed by the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission.[4]
