About həʔapus Village Park and Shoreline Habitat in Seattle

həʔapus Village Park & Shoreline Habitat, formerly known as Terminal 107 Park, is an important archaeological, cultural, and ecological site located on the shores of the Duwamish River in Seattle, Washington. The park spans over seven acres of native landscape along a vibrant river shoreline, situated just off West Marginal Way across from the Duwamish Longhouse and Cultural Center.

This site holds significant historical value as it was the ancestral location of one of the Duwamish Tribe's larger villages, yile'qwud (pronounced Yee-LE-kwud). The area contains one of the last remaining original bends of the Duwamish River, offering visitors a glimpse into the landscape's past appearance.

həʔapus Village Park serves as a critical habitat area for salmon and other migratory fish and wildlife. It provides a space for these species to rest, feed, and find shelter from predators. The park is part of ongoing restoration efforts, with volunteers working to support the river's ecosystem.

The park offers public access to the shoreline and serves as an educational site, providing information about the area's rich history and ecological importance. It combines natural beauty with cultural significance, making it a unique location for both recreation and learning about Seattle's indigenous heritage and environmental conservation efforts.
