Shilshole Bay is the part of Puget Sound east of a line drawn northeasterly from Seattle's West Point in the southwest to its Golden Gardens Park in the northeast.
It is home to the Shilshole Bay Marina on Ballard's Seaview Avenue N.W.
and communicates with the Lake Washington Ship Canal via the Ballard Locks.
[citation needed] The name is derived from the Lushootseed word šilšul, which means "threading a needle," referring to Salmon Bay.
