Suquamish Museum and Cultural Center

The Suquamish Museum is a place dedicated to preserving and showing the history of the native people of this region. The building holds archaeological objects like harpoon points, smoking pipes, and jewelry that are carefully stored and displayed in climate-controlled spaces.

This museum was founded in 1983 to preserve the knowledge and objects of the Suquamish people. The current building opened in 2012 with expanded space to care for a growing collection.

The main gallery displays the history and traditions of the Suquamish Tribe through drawings, documents, photographs, and handmade objects. You can see how this community keeps its heritage alive through these displayed items.

The museum is open to visitors and offers different ways to explore the exhibitions. Photography is allowed in the exhibition areas, but without flash to protect the displayed objects.

A carved canoe from the 17th century is the central display piece and was last used during a community paddling event in 1989. This object shows how ancient tools remain connected to living traditions today.
