Respect for the Past
The Duwamish people, known to have inhabited Western Washington for 10000 years, have lived in the Alki region since the sixth century CE. The Duwamish Longhouse and Cultural Center (DLCC), an archaeological and cultural conservation project launched in the 1990s and completed in 2009, pays tribute to this rich continuous history at a site 2 ½ miles from Commander’s Keep, on the Duwamish Waterway appropriately across the street from the ancestral village hah-AH-poos, also known as Duwamish Site 1. Designed by Byron Barnes of Potlatch Architects, the two-story post-and-beam cedar-log longhouse incorporates the stylistic features of traditional Duwamish longhouse construction, including generous skylights for natural illumination by day (and moonlit night) as well as removable partitions that allow the structure to accommodate 200 guests. In collaboration with the Burke Museum of UW, the DLCC houses and exhibits archaeological artifacts for study by visiting scholars and the public. The tribal kitchen preserves and hands down Duwamish culinary tradition.
Icons of PNW History
Coney Island of the West. Established in 1907, 12-acre amusement park Luna Park at Duwamish Head, a mile from Commander’s Keep, welcomed thrill-seekers to attractions such as a Figure 8 rollercoaster, a carousel by Coney Island designer Charles Looff, and a live bear pit. It also boasted the longest bar in Elliott Bay. Outraged women and irate Prohibitionists shut down the park’s rides in 1913 because of its manager’s ties to prostitution and organized crime. Aeronautical Experiments. In summer 1908 Luna Park hosted a rare exhibition of a hand-constructed airship made from 300 lbs of Japanese silk by daredevil aviation pioneer L. Guy Mecklem. On June 27th 1908 Mecklem took his creation for a spin – the first manned flight in Seattle. Commander’s Keep preserves and celebrates the risk-taking spirit of L. Guy Mecklem – and of the inventive previous owner, who hand built two airplanes in the detached two-car garage/workshop. Rich cultural landscape
