Where is Agate Point?

Agate Point is the northern tip of Bainbridge Island, Washington.
The passage was named for Alfred Thomas Agate in 1841. He was the designated portrait and botanical artist on the United States Exploring Expedition of 1838-1843. His detailed illustrations of the native peoples still provide insights into the cultures of pacific islanders and native peoples of the US pacific coast in the mid 19th century. The area has been inhabited for over 10,000 years. Today it is a part of the metropolitan Seattle area. Chief Seattle lived here.
