The Snoqualmie Indian Tribe held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for its new Harvest Kitchen and Greenhouse Classroom on the Tribal Administration Campus, according to Snoqualmie Valley Info. The facilities mark the second phase of the tribe’s childcare expansion project, following the 2023 opening of the Snoqualmie Child Development Center. Together, they will serve 54 children while advancing food sovereignty and cultural preservation. Treasurer Joshua Gabel said the project will help sustain Snoqualmie lifeways and practices for future generations.
U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell, U.S. Rep. Kim Schrier, and King County Councilmember Sarah Perry were among the officials who attended. The facilities will host cultural programming, including cooking, weaving and nutrition classes, as well as Elder gatherings and seasonal events, according to Snoqualmie Valley Info.
