Puyallup Tribe receives downtown Tacoma community center in land donation
The Puyallup Tribe of Indians received a major property donation from Alma LLC, which transferred ownership of a 22,000-square-foot former community center in downtown Tacoma, according to ICT. The donation, finalized July 28, includes a performance hall, rooftop event area and cafe space that hosted cultural and community events from 2018 to 2023.
“This gift of this beautiful building in downtown Tacoma, which is our ancestral homelands, is somewhat of a miracle,” Council member Annette Bryan told ICT. The transfer was facilitated by Anpo, an Indigenous-led nonprofit. The Puyallup Tribal Council is exploring future uses for the site.
