Haleets, Native American petroglyph site on Bainbridge Island, US
The sandstone boulder named Haleets measures 5 feet tall and 7 feet long, featuring ancient carvings located 100 feet from the Agate Point shoreline.
Between 1000 BCE and 500 CE, the Suquamish tribe created petroglyphs on this glacial erratic rock, including designs that indicated specific cultural practices of that period.
The name Haleets derives from the Lushootseed word x̌alilc, meaning marked rock, reflecting the deep connection between the Suquamish people and their territorial markers.
The rock becomes accessible only during low tide periods, and visitors need to time their trips according to the tidal schedule of Agate Passage.
Since 1856, surveyors have added their own marks to the rock, including chiseled features and a bronze geodetic marker placed in 1934.
