North Wind's Weir

North Wind's Weir or North Wind's Fish Weir south of Seattle on the Duwamish River in Tukwila, Washington is a site that figures prominently in the oral traditions of the Salish people of the Puget Sound region.

Mountain Beaver Woman's son, the child Storm Wind, also survived.

He heard her story and helped her out of her misery; she, in return, aided him with a flood that shattered the weir and turned it to stone.
