Foster Landing at Foster Homestead
Flat-bottomed boats carried passengers and goods on the Duwamish River to and from the Green and Black Rivers from 1854 to 1886. Names of the boats were the Minehaha, the Black Diamond, the Decatur, the Comet, and the Gem. A Landing for the flat-bottomed boats was located approximately 100 yards south of the Foster Homestead on the Duwamish river.
