Especially today, Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we would like to acknowledge that we are on the traditional land of the first people of Seattle, the Duwamish People past and present. We honor with gratitude the land itself and the Duwamish Tribe.
To turn our words into action, we are actively supporting the Duwamish Tribe’s for a signalized, ADA accessibile crossing of West Marginal Way SW at the Duwamish Longhouse. Please call or email City Council members this week asking:
Please add funding to the 2020 budget for the Duwamish Tribe’s Safety & Accessibility Project to create a safe and ADA-accessible crossing of West Marginal Way SW from the Longhouse to the Duwamish Trail and the Duwamish River parks and parking.

You can also show your support by attending the City Council budget hearing on October 22 at 5:30 pm at Seattle City Hall, and standing with the Duwamish Tribe to make this request.
