Seattle’s Jack Block Park has a view & vista for everybody
City views. All of them. From this park you get a panorama of ships in Elliott Bay, fishermen on the piers, cranes in the Port, and the silvery outline of downtown buildings against the Seattle sky. With public beach access and a 45-foot high Observation Tower, there’s more than just awesome scenery here, but a glimpse into the history of the city and industry that propelled it forward.

Who will you meet at Jack Block Park? Well, this 15-acre park is a happy place for dogs (fellow barkers, harbor seals, can be heard nearby) as well as poets and scuba divers.
After ⎸See what crafted Seattle’s character with a stop by the Duwamish Longhouse & Cultural Center here, where you can learn about the Duwamish Tribe – Seattle’s First People.
After ⎸Round out your day at Marination Ma Kai for some Hawaiian-Korean fusion cuisine. Best bet – sit outside on the patio overlooking downtown and the sound with tacos in one hand and a beer in the other. Heaven.

Duwamish Longhouse and Cultural Center
Headquarters and Home of Seattle’s Duwamish Tribe, Point Elliott Treaty Tribe Indigenous People of Puget Sound and Duwamish River Valley – The Home of the Duwamish People!
The Duwamish people have been in the Seattle/Greater King County area since time immemorial. Our stories, such as “North Wind, South Wind”, tell of the last Ice Age, and an Ice Weir breaking over the Duwamish River.
Our longhouse today stands across the street from where one of our largest villages was located before it was burned down by settlers in 1895.
Events at the Duwamish Longhouse & Cultural Center are often put on by the tribe or allied groups for the benefit of the public, but we also host private events for any interested group who would want to use the space for meetings, reunions, or other gatherings.

Marination Ma Kai
It started with a truck, some exquisite marinades, and a lotta love. In 2009, fresh off a big market crash, Marination owners Kamala and Roz decided on a new kind of investment: running their own business. Big Blue took to the streets in June, with smiles for miles and a unique Hawaiian-Korean fusion cuisine in tow. Over one million tacos and nearly five incredible years later, Marination has grown into one big aloha family! That’s one truck, one little brick-and-mortar in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood, and one beachside restaurant with a full bar, huge patio, and a TO DIE FOR view. Our commitment to serving up Everyday Aloha extends throughout each of Marination’s locations. We believe in fun. We believe in flavor. We believe in delivering daily aloha to Seattle! And we support these beliefs by hiring vibrant, joyful people to prepare, cook, and serve our saucy and delicious fare; to connect with our customers and share a smile or a joke; and to facilitate our events and catering operations.
