Foster Island is an island in Seattle, Washington, USA's Union Bay. Bisected by State Route 520, it is part of the Washington Park Arboretum. There is a walking trail connecting Foster Island and the adjacent Marsh Island to mainland Seattle via a set of bridges and boardwalks.
Foster Island was once the Duwamish burial ground, Stitici, where the dead were placed in boxes tied up in the branches of trees.[1][2]
