EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This study encompasses the southeast sector of Auburn, Tribal Reservation lands and parts of unincorporated southeast King County that are home to a predominantly married, high school educated population who own their own homes and have children under 18 in the household. Most are native born, working across many occupational categories with higher percentages found in management, service, sales and manufacturing. Median household income and property values for the Muckleshoot Library service area vary widely compared to the Muckleshoot Reservation.

As the Tribe continues to expand its operations and strives to improve the physical, educational and economic well-being of its members, the landscape will change. More commercial venues, along with single family housing and multi-dwelling units, will dot the highway. A major thoroughfare may be widened to accommodate additional traffic, activity and population. More begets more.

Rural home owners, along with owners of agricultural and environmental operations may join together to deter the efforts of imminent growth and development in rural areas of the County. In this mix of push and pull, the library seeks to draw old and new users from its commercial, residential and rural surroundings. Unlike the current library, which is underutilized and hard to locate, the new library will attract concert goers, gamers, and young and old students, as well as the plateau and Reservation residents to its doors.

MUCKLESHOOT TRIBE

In the 1800s, a number of distinct tribes inhabited the area surrounding the White and Green Rivers. The Muckleshoot Tribe, descendants of the area’s original Coastal Salish peoples, lived off the wealth of the land and the waters. The ease of fishing, hunting and gathering, coupled with rich forests, provided for the needs of these people.

In the 1840s, as the European population grew, conditions changed and friction developed between the tribal communities, non-native settlers and the US government. Governor Stevens, working to acquire more land

1 for the railroads, forced treaties upon the tribes. Native peoples fought back during the Puget Sound Indian War, but the resistance was short-lived. In 1856, the Muckleshoot Reservation (an abandoned army tract called Fort Muckleshoot) was created. Tribal members from the Stkamish, Yiloalkoamish, Tkwakwamish, Smahlkamish and Skopamish were forcibly relocated to the area. Later, members from Duwamish, Snoqualmie, Tulalip and Suquamish joined what is now known as the Muckleshoot Tribe.

The Muckleshoot Tribe has ties with the sea. The “People of the Salmon” fished the streams and rivers and were annually blessed with bountiful catches. Fishing rights affirmed by past treaties (1855-56) were ignored by non-native fishers using larger vessels and modern methods. Battle for the recognition of inherent treaty rights, long denied by the federal government, was not reaffirmed until the Boldt decision in 1974.

In 1874, an executive order defined the oddly drawn boundaries of the diagonal six square- mile area (3,530+ acres) known as the Muckleshoot Reservation. Much of the land was purchased by the railroads, claimed by settlers, or sold to non-natives. Through 1971, the Tribe owned approximately one-quarter acre of reservation property. Since then, the Tribe and its members bought back approximately 54% of reservation land.

In 1936, the Muckleshoot Tribe adopted their constitution. They are governed by a nine member council that serves staggered three-year terms. All community members serve on the General Council, which is responsible for providing input and advice to the Tribal Council.

The 1974 Boldt decision provided some economic relief to tribal fishers and fisheries, but the economic benefits were moderate and short-lived due to urbanization and changes in ecological conditions.

Economic conditions for the Tribe changed significantly in 1995 with the opening of the Muckleshoot Casino. Today, the Tribe oversees more than 3,500 jobs and has a payroll of $50 million, making it the second largest employer in southeast King County. From 2003 to 2005, gambling receipts generated $915,000 to $1,025,000 in taxes for the City of Auburn.

Robust revenues from gaming receipts have allowed the Muckleshoot Tribe to offer families services such as health and wellness care, home construction and rental support, educational assistance or college funding, new computer purchases, employment training and opportunities, a daycare facility and other benefits that support the tribal mission to strengthen mind, body, heart and spirit.

2 MUCKLESHOOT LIBRARY’S SERVICE AREA: PAST AND PRESENT

The library’s service area includes the southeast quadrant of the City of Auburn, the Muckleshoot Tribal Reservation and sections of unincorporated southeast King County west of the City of Enumclaw.

The original Coast Salish peoples populated this area for thousands of years. They lived along the banks of the Green and White rivers in cedar plank dwellings surrounded by forests of madrona, fir, yew, cascara, elderberry and their beloved cedar. The valleys were populated by and hunted for deer, bears, cougars, wolves and elk. Smaller furry animals such as otter, beaver, mink and raccoon were plentiful. The rivers offered a rich harvest of clam and salmon. Some of the earliest inhabitants did not practice farming or animal husbandry. Thus from spring until fall, tribal people spent their days digging bitter roots or harvesting Camassia Quamash, Wapato or tiger lily bulbs. Berry picking (i.e. salmon, huckle, elder, salal, prairie, cranberry, thimble, blackcap and wild strawberry) filled many summer and fall hours. Dogwood, ocean spray, asters, cattails, skunk cabbage, trillium and dog-tooth violets added color to the land.

The drive southeast along State Route 164 and reservation grounds today offers both suburban and rural landscapes. There are retail sites, schools, religious institutions, firework stands, fishery areas, a smoke shop, the FAA building, small strip malls, mobile-home communities and more. Since 1974, the Muckleshoot Housing Authority has worked to build and improve housing on the reservation for low and moderate income families. Skopabash village was one of the initial projects. In 1985, the Tribe built a small bingo hall. Ten years later, the Muckleshoot Casino opened. Four expansions later, this 200,000-square-foot facility and garage, positions the Tribe as one of the state’s financial powerhouses in the gaming industry and is rumored to be the most profitable (Gambling Magazine 11.27.02).

In June 2003, the Muckleshoot Tribe opened the $30 million, 20,000-seat White River Amphitheater. This joint venture between the Tribe and Clear Channel Communications is one of the largest concert venues in Western Washington. The tribal college, situated just north of the amphitheater, has grown from an enrollment of 30 in 1998 to approximately 450 students in 2005.

In late 2003, construction was completed on the two-story, 52,000-square-foot Philip Star Building, which houses administrative offices, as well as fisheries, andwildlife and policy departments for the Tribe. The building serves as a link to the tribal community with tribal council chambers, general tribal meeting rooms and other tribal offices located inside. In October 2005, the Tribe opened the 95,000-square-foot, $20 million Health and Wellness Center. The facility is evenly divided between treatment and prevention services.

A new two-story, 65,000-square-foot bingo hall (across the street from the Muckleshoot Casino) is to open at the end of 2006. It will accommodate as many as 1,100 players and 3 replace the current bingo hall. Plans also include a new 42,000-square-foot casino (adjacent to the front of the existing casino) complete with video slot machines, gaming deli, bar and other casino accouterments. Recreational needs spur future development of a soccer field, four baseball diamonds and a gymnasium on open reservation land. A new and larger tribal school is slated for construction in 2008-2009.

Continuing east on State Route 164, the plateau spanning tribal lands and unincorporated King County becomes spacious and rural. Driving toward Enumclaw today is comparable to a 1950s Sunday outing. Though the area population has grown roughly 30% since 1990, this section of unincorporated county lands and the historic downtown of Enumclaw have retained a small-town ambience where residents take great pride in local schools, knowing their neighbors and being involved in civic affairs.

A recent agreement with King County may impact this idyllic life style. The King County Fairgrounds and nearby County-owned parcels will be transferred to the City of Enumclaw along with funds to assist in making this area a major tourist attraction complete with expanded fairgrounds, expo site and equestrian center. The challenge for the future is to develop a vibrant tourist industry while preserving the rural, small-town charm.

GEOGRAPHY TODAY The Muckleshoot Library is sited on the Enumclaw Plateau. It is midway between the cities of Auburn and Enumclaw. Its boundaries are the Green River on the north, the Auburn city limits on the west and the King/Pierce County line on the south and east. Located on the plateau, Enumclaw’s name is derived from a Native American word meaning “strong wind” or “thundering noise.” Rising up from the Green and White Rivers, the plateau is relatively flat with occasional hills.

Traveling east on State Route 164, the green Department of Transportation sign describes the locale with “Entering Farming Area” and a picture of a cow and a tractor. The two-lane road is a narrow and bumpy with a fast speed limit of 50mph. The plateau has spacious tribal lands and unincorporated King County becomes a pastoral setting, poplar and tall deciduous trees abound, showcasing expansive lots, agricultural and dairy farming, forestry, logging, nurseries, chicken farms, thoroughbred horse breeding and boarding areas, and views of the Cascades and Mt. Rainier.

With the new Muckleshoot Library located on a major state route that links to

4 State Route 169 and State Route 410, residents, as well as tourists and travelers visiting the casinos, the White River Amphitheater and the Mt. Rainier area, will visit this community library from all over southeast King County.

TRANSPORTATION The Muckleshoot Library is located on State Route 164, a two-lane rural countryside road that is the primary route between Auburn and Enumclaw. It also connects to other highways for access to Mt. Rainier, Chinook Pass and White Pass. A 2005 study showed that the average daily traffic volumes along State Route 164 ranged from a low of 20,000 near Enumclaw to 36,000 near Auburn. These volumes are forecasted to increase substantially during the next 20 years. The Muckleshoot tribal land and many of their facilities are located on this highway, including the White River Amphitheatre, which draws huge crowds in the summer months. Automobile congestion from these venues often necessitates police officers on the route to direct traffic. Residents throughout this area are dependent upon their cars for employment, local access, shopping, social services and visiting the libraries. Due to the narrowness of the road, bicycle and foot traffic are not safe options.

A State Route 164 Corridor Study committee has been formed that includes representatives from the cities, Tribe, Puget Sound Regional Council and Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT). They are analyzing traffic to determine options for a Bypass Feasibility Study. The Muckleshoot Tribe supports the options that bypass the White River Amphitheater traffic. There is also discussion about widening State Route 164.

Three bus routes provide limited service to the area. One operates only on the weekends, another has no service for the weekends and none offer evening service or stops near the library. This lack of public transportation impacts the use of the library by everyone.

EDUCATION AND SCHOOLS The Auburn and Enumclaw school districts fall within the library’s service area boundaries. Chinook Middle, Westwood Elementary, Muckleshoot Tribal and Buena Vista Seventh Day Adventist schools are located in census tracts 310, 311 and 312.02. There are significant differences in the schools with 58% receiving reduced or free lunch at Chinook, 23.4% at Westwood and 4.5% at Muckleshoot. Statistics were not available for Buena Vista school. The state average for free or reduced lunches is 36.7%.

Chinook Elementary School has an enrollment of 461 and an average class size of 28 students. Additional programs are offered through the Native American Achievement Center funded by the Muckleshoot Tribe. Support programs include “Project Climb,” an after-school literacy class, and the Waterford Early Literacy Computer Reading Program offered to kindergarteners and first graders. Westwood Elementary School has an enrollment of 341 and an average class size of 13 students. The faculty reflects an average of 16 years teaching experience (three more than the state average of 13 years).

5 The Muckleshoot Tribal School (preschool-12th grade) has an enrollment of 123 and is a candidate for accreditation. A new tribal school, scheduled to open 2007-2008, will be located next the Tribal College and the new Muckleshoot Library. The Tribe operates a childcare center capable of handling more than 300 children and is open 24/7 if needed. Like Chinook Middle School, the center uses the Waterford Early Literacy Computer Reading Program, which serves children of tribal members and casino staff (ages 12 and younger).

The Buena Vista Academy Seventh Day Adventist School (kindergarten-8th grade), with an enrollment of more than 200, is approved by the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) as a private school.

HISTORY OF THE MUCKLESHOOT LIBRARY: PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE

The Muckleshoot Library began under the direction of Tribal Chair Florence Starr Wynn and KCLS staff member Betty Jo Van Hoose in 1968. The library was originally located in the Tribal Community Center and was open for service on Saturdays from 1-3pm. One year later, the Community Center was destroyed by fire and bookmobile service replaced the library. Mobile service was offered at 14 sites until a new library facility was constructed.

In 1975, the KCLS opened the 1,600-square-foot Muckleshoot Library, designed by Alan Keimig, in the Muckleshoot Tribal Center (about 500 yards directly north of the original Fort Muckleshoot site). At that time, the library was open 15 hours a week, from 1-6pm Tuesday through Thursday. There was a general collection, as well as special items relating to the history and culture of Northwest and other Native American tribes.

Today, the library is still sited in the same building, but the structure now houses the Muckleshoot Tribal School, administrative offices, the tribal gym and a gathering spot. The library offers service 29 hours per week: Monday and Friday from 1-5pm and Tuesday though Thursday from 10am-5pm. The children’s and teen collections have been expanded,

6 along with media items such as CDs, DVDs, videos, books on CD/cassette. A single Self- Checkout station is available and staff uses the Millennium tote check-in system. Eight computers are available for patrons to access the library catalog, Microsoft Office products, Internet, music/video clips. The school gym, often used for a variety of tribal gatherings, hosts varied events from lively musical festivals to mournful funeral services. Such occasions offer library staff exposure to aspects of the Muckleshoot culture. Berlinda Adair was site manager from 1975 until her retirement in 2002. Fawn Fulgencio served at the library from 1988 until 2006.

The library’s location on the reservation, amongst tribal buildings and as a room in the tribal school, makes it accessible to students, staff and administrative personnel. Unfortunately, this location does not attract those traveling back and forth on State Route 164 (also known as Auburn-Enumclaw Road SE).

A new Muckleshoot Library is slated to open in late 2007 or early 2008. It will be a 6,000- square-foot building located at the northwest corner of SE 400th and State Route 164. BNBuilders and Miller-Hull Architects were hired to design and build this facility. Along with KCLS, these firms have been working with the Tribal Planning Commission to solicit ideas about the initial design of the new library.

The Muckleshoot Tribe would like to see the building incorporate interior and exterior concepts reflecting Tribal history. Recent Tribal constructions depict themes of rivers and salmon. Several Commission members suggested that cedar trees, forests and plants linked to tribal life and culture be considered in the new library design.

In addition to serving those living on reservation lands, this new library will be welcomed by others living in unincorporated southeast King County, north of Pierce County and the City of Enumclaw. The new Muckleshoot Library will be located midway between the Auburn Library and Enumclaw’s City Library. It is presumed that the favorable location and new services and collections will draw patrons from both sites.
