Starting with the Suquamish descendants of Chief Sealth, Kiana has been entertaining distinguished guests with traditional alder-roasted salmon dinners for over 200 years. Located on Agate Passage, just across from Bainbridge Island, Kiana's sandy beaches are still carpeted with white clam shells left by generations of Native Americans who inhabited the original Suquamish village where Chief Sealth lived, just two miles North. (Seattle was named after this famous Chief.)

In the 1930's, Seattle area residents seeking a summer escape, discovered the area's sandy beaches and built a colony of summer homes on the North Kitsap Peninsula. This community built a log lodge clubhouse, known as the Edgewater Beach and Country Club, and which was later renamed the Sandy Hook Park Club. The lodge clubhouse was the focal point for gatherings of all ages, with food, drink, games, dancing and outdoor activities including canoe jousting in the lodge's natural salt water lagoon. It was then fashionable to escape the city to this rustic elegance in a natural setting, and many arrived by the famous "mosquito fleet" passenger steamers to the lodge's own deep-water dock. World War II interrupted this pre-war "paradise", as the members of the beach club called it, and the lodge became the housing for the 14th Coast Artillery. When the lodge was purchased in 1946 by a private party, it was given the name "Kiana" which means "Garden of the Gods" in the Native American language.

We are available for all day meetings, banquets, parties and picnics to groups of 40-1000 in either the historic, open-beam Main Lodge or in the Garden Atrium. Also, plan your next Holiday Party at Kiana and feel the warmth of a crackling fire in the Moose Room as you sip a glass of wine or a mug of our rich, steamy clam nectar.

Our famous, signature salmon lunch or dinner is well known, but menus can also be customized to suit your special event. Pamper your guests in the serenity of this private, six acre, waterfront haven where you can stroll the beach, enjoy a bonfire or just wander among our fragrant cedars and enjoy the beauty of our extensive gardens.

Experience Kiana, where time stands still and memories are born!
