Tse-whit-zen is a 1700 to 2700 year old Klallam (Lower Elwha) village on the Port Angeles, Washington waterfront. A project for a graving dock ironically discovered in 2004 that it had been sited to include the village's cemetery. Over 10,000 artifacts and more than 335 intact skeletons have been unearthed to date. The Washington State Department of Transportation decided to halt all construction efforts relating to the graving dock on December 21, 2004 and is currently undertaking only those steps required to ensure the preservation of remains and artifacts already uncovered by the construction. The graving dock was being built for the construction of replacement pontoons for the Hood Canal Bridge which is part of Washington State Route 104.
