Longhouse Anniversary Celebration

The Duwamish Tribe is celebrating the 15th anniversary of the Duwamish Longhouse and Cultural Center’s grand opening in January 2009.

For many years, our Tribe had no central gathering place. We fought hard for the land that the Longhouse sits upon, an important location in close proximity to the Duwamish River and the largest archaeological dig of a Duwamish village site to date. With overwhelming community support, we were persistent in raising enough money to build the Longhouse the way we wanted. Decades later, it stands as the only Longhouse in the city of Seattle.

We invite you to join us in celebration on Saturday, January 27th from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm at the Duwamish Longhouse & Cultural Center. A traditional Native salmon lunch will be provided for all guests. Unfortunately this event is at capacity. If you were not able to get a ticket, you can always visit the Longhouse after the event starting at 2:00 pm. The gift shop and exhibits will remain open during the event.
