'''Indianola''' is located on the Kitsap Peninsula in the Puget Sound region of Washington state.
Indianola, within the boundaries of the Port Madison Reservation, started in 1916 as a summer/weekend community with the only access via steamboat.
Today this rural residential area, located between Kingston and Suquamish, remains a small and friendly community.
The Indianola dock, built when the Mosquito Fleet supplied the majority of transportation on Puget Sound, is a local landmark that's considered one of the best places in the area to watch the stars or any major celestial event since it juts hundreds of feet out into the water.
A small community center, at the base of the community dock, includes a country store, Post Office and community center.

Get around
See
Nearby attractions include Old Man House and the Clearwater Casino in Suquamish, the historic Scandinavian town of Poulsbo, the historic lumber town and museum in Port Gamble and Kingston, recent star of an episode of a "reality" TV home show. No, you don't really need a landing craft to get to Kingston and yes, they do have indoor plumbing.
Do
Swim, fish, play on one of the best beaches in the State, crab or do nothing at all and watch the sun reflect off of the skyline of Seattle.
One of the more interesting things in town is the annual summer festival, complete with fun run, amateur sand castle building, salmon bake, occasional talent show, and children's games.
Buy
Some high quality local artists are in town, otherwise shopping is limited the The Indianola Country Store.
Eat
You may eat what you catch, eat breakfast or lunch at the deli in The Indianola
Country Store or run into Kingston or Poulsbo for the nearest dining.
Drink
Again; The Indianola Country Store. Not a long list. You may be fortunate enough in the summer to find an occasional beach party with which to imbibe.
Sleep
No lodging in town. Occasionally there are summer homes in town that people are willing to rent out.
