1:41 PM: If you’re interested in watching the Native canoe families arrive for the Alki stop on the 2026 Tribal Canoe Journey route to Nisqually, they’re landing now.
More than 20 have come ashore.
3:10 PM: Though dozens of canoe families are here, a few are still on the way. Two canoes from the Suquamish Tribe – who hosted last night’s stopover – and one canoe family identifying themselves as from “Alaska’s only Indian reservation – are the newest arrivals. The canoes will remain on the beach overnight – guarded by uniformed security from the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe, which is transporting the visiting canoe families to Auburn.
3:29 PM: The landings have concluded, with the Muckleshoot’s own canoe family paddling in, and the Samish arriving too. We’ll add more photos a bit later. The canoe families will depart tomorrow morning, headed for Puyallup, and then this year’s Canoe Journey destination, Nisqually. (Backstory in our preview.)
