The site once marked the junction of the land claims of Arthur Denny, William Nathaniel Bell, and Carson Boren.[2] The triangular plaza lies at the intersection of 5th Avenue, Cedar Street, and Denny Way.[4]
Tilikum Place has several tables and benches for public use. Lighting was installed in 2008.[4]
The 5 Point Cafe faces Tilikum Place.[4] A notable feature of the square is the life-size[4] statue of Chief Seattle by local[3] sculptor James Wehn.[2][3][4]
