Agate Pass

It leads south towards Bremerton, extending about one mile (1.6 km) in a straight, southwesterly direction.

The traditional winter village of the Suquamish people was located on Agate Pass.

It was the site of Old Man House, the largest longhouse on Puget Sound, and is the location of Haleets, a petroglyph.

Agate Pass was unknown to non-native people until it was discovered by the Wilkes Expedition in 1841.

It was named by U.S. Navy Lt. Charles Wilkes in honor of one of the members of the expedition, Alfred Thomas Agate.
