The Tenas Chuck Moorage features a distinctive, low-slung wooden pier structure extending over the waters of Elliott Bay. Its name translates from Chinook Jargon as small water, a term reflecting the sheltered nature of the cove where it rests. For decades, this site provided a modest landing for small fishing vessels and personal craft. Local fishermen once gathered here to trade stories and bait, relying on the quiet currents of the basin when the wider Puget Sound turned rough during winter storms.
