The Shilshole people (Lushootseed: šilšulabš; also known as the Shilshoolabsh) were a Lushootseed-speaking people whose territory was located around Salmon Bay near Seattle, Washington. Around the 19th century, they had just one village deep inside Salmon Bay. The last Shilshole were removed from their homes in 1914, and moved to the Port Madison Reservation to enable the construction of the Ballard Locks, although some assimilated into the nearby community of Ballard.
Their name is derived from the Lushootseed word for Salmon Bay, šilšul, which means "threading a needle", in reference to the narrow passage through which Salmon Bay empties into Shilshole Bay.[1] Their Lushootseed endonym is šilšulabš, which means "people of šilšul" or "needle-threading people".
