Two Native American canoes, the oldest of which
is estimated to be up to 300 years old, where discovered at the bottom
of Angle Lake. William Westlake Walker discovered them in 1989-1990

had utilized the area since ancient times. The SeaTac area was
traversed by Native American groups traveling between saltwater
shorelines and the interior.
