Dyes Inlet

The unincorporated Silverdale community is located on the north shore of the inlet and has a small marina, boat ramp, boardwalk, and two waterfront parks.

It was named for John W. W. Dyes, a taxidermist with the Wilkes Expedition of 1841.

Both creeks have heavy salmon runs during the fall.
