Stillaguamish Tribe of Indians

What Stillaguamish Tribe of Indians does

The Stillaguamish Tribe of Indians is a sovereign, federally recognized tribal government headquartered in Arlington, Washington, on a 64-acre reservation in Snohomish County (recognized in 2014). The Tribe is governed by a six-member Tribal Council elected by enrolled members and provides a comprehensive portfolio of governmental, community, healthcare, cultural, and natural resource services to its membership, including Natural Resources, Cultural Resources, Family Resources, Housing, Daycare, Elder's Program, Youth Services, Wellness Clinic, Massage Therapy Clinic, qʷəlút Healing Center (Behavioral Health), Police, and Courts & Justice Services. Its core competency lies in treaty rights stewardship, with active fisheries (salmon hatchery operations producing 220,000 summer Chinook, 200,000 fall Chinook, 60,000 Coho, and 250,000 Chum annually), wildlife (elk, mountain goat, bear, seal), water resources, and environmental restoration programs operating under Treaty of Point Elliott (1855) rights reaffirmed by the 1974 Boldt Decision.

The Tribe generates revenue through a diversified mix of commercial enterprises (Angel of the Winds Casino Resort, River Rock Tobacco & Fuel, S.T.A.R. Auto Repair, fuel stations), federal and state grants (Wildlife Crossings Pilot Program, EPA Tribal Response Program, Washington EV Charging Program, congressional earmarks), tribal business licensing and tax revenue, and charitable community contributions. Strategic positioning centers on government-to-government partnerships with Snohomish County, WSDOT, WDFW, US Fish and Wildlife Service, the US Navy, and neighboring tribes (Upper Skagit, Tulalip, Sauk-Suiattle), as well as consulting engagements (Jacobs Engineering). The Tribe employs 251-500 staff and has been recognized with the APWA Project of the Year Award 2024 for the 236th Street NE Corridor Improvements Project, signaling regional infrastructure leadership beyond reservation boundaries.
