Indianola, within the boundaries of the Port Madison Reservation, started in 1916 as a summer/weekend community with the only access via steamboat.

Today this rural residential area, located between Kingston and Suquamish, remains a small and friendly community.

The Indianola dock, built when the Mosquito Fleet supplied the majority of transportation on Puget Sound, is a local landmark that's considered one of the best places in the area to watch the stars or any major celestial event since it juts hundreds of feet out into the water.

A small community center, at the base of the community dock, includes a country store, Post Office and community center.
