Duwamish Head is the northernmost point in West Seattle, Washington, jutting into Elliott Bay. The Duwamish called it "Low Point" or "Base of the Point" (Lushootseed: sgWudaqs).
A large boulder covered with petroglyphs once lay on the beach.[2] The Duwamish tribe was relocated to a reservation here in 1856, which at the time was referred to as Holderness Point.[3] From 1907 to 1913 it was the site of an amusement park, Luna Park. Today Alki Beach Park extends southwestward from Duwamish Head to Alki Point;[4] the area at the head is sometimes called "Anchor Park" due to the 5,000-pound (2,300 kg) anchor at the site.
