Finding Quileute Tribal School
The roads take you through beautiful waterways, alpine forests and
scenic lakes and rivers. The area is abundant with wildlife, fishing and
home away from home for many hikers, kayaking, and camping.
Traveling to Quileute from Seattle by car, ferry or commuter airline
requires some planning. Horizon Airlines is affiliated with Alaska
Airlines that serves Port Angeles. Rental cars are available for the Port
Angeles Fairchild International Airport. Highway 101 route west for 52
miles connects to highway 110, just north of the city of Forks. Highway
110 west route is approximately 15 miles to the Reservation and village of
La Push. If you're lucky, this is the view of our island looking west from our school campus. It is an ancient burial ground reserved at that time for tribal members held in high esteem and important clan leaders.
The La Push village is at the mouth of the Quileute River and bordered by the U.S. Olympic National Park and the Pacific Ocean. It takes about 4.25 driving hours to reach Seattle, 1.5 hours to Port Angeles, and 25 minutes to the nearest town of Forks. Travel is measured in time rather than miles out here in the Far west.
