This is a public pier/landing that is leased by a private company. Argosy cruises offers tours of the harbor, but it also serves as a ferry to Blake Island. The entire island is a State Park, however, on the island is Tillicum Village. People travel to the village to see the Native American dances and to eat the fire baked salmon in a cedar longhouse. The ferry schedule to the island varies greatly depending on the season and day of the week so be sure to check schedules.
