Duwamish: Old Juanita Steamer Dock - Lowering Lake Washington eliminated aboriginal use of Juanita Bay. Long before people of European origin arrived, a band of today’s Duwamish tribe, the TAHB-Tah-Byook, lived in a village near the mouth of Juanita Creek, and here in the bay dug wapato bulbs, a nutritious, starchy staple, and no doubt hunted waterfowl. Smallpox that ravaged native peoples on the early 1800s, likely introduced by early Spanish explorers, apparently eliminated this band. But Native Americans are reported to have continued to stop at Juanita Bay to harvest wapato seasonally until the lake was lowered.
