Little Boston, near the northern end of the Kitsap Peninsula is the home of the Port Gamble S'Klallam Tribe.
This quiet area along Port Gamble Bay is also the location of The Point Casino operated by the S'Klallam Tribe.
The Port Gamble S’Klallam Reservation consists of 1,340 acres of land held in trust by the federal government. There is no private land ownership on the reservation. Most of the land is in forest with residential, business, and office areas.
The reservation receives approximately 20 inches of rain per year due to its location in the Olympic Mountain rain shadow. The reservation lands rise from the beach to a gently rolling terrain.
Port Gamble Bay is the last bay in Kitsap County that is still open for commercial shellfish harvest. The Tribe has a hatchery on Middle Creek. Bear, deer and other wildlife also live on the reservation.
