Project Description
Describe the project for which you are seeking funds within the context of your organization's history, mission and goals.
Make a case for why this project, or completing this phase of a project, is a priority for your organization at this time. If the
project involves restoration or rehabilitation of a designated historic property, describe how the proposed work complies
with the applicable Secretary of Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties or local design review
guidelines. We suggest you use about 250 words.
The City of Tukwila requests $250,280 to support completion of our 3.3 acre Puget Sound Salish Cultural
Garden at the Duwamish Hill Preserve.
BACKGROUND: Duwamish Hill Preserve is a 10.5 acre property that includes 40 million year old rock
outcroppings, unique native plant communities, and 600 feet of shoreline on the Duwamish River. The Hill's
summit offers territorial views of Mt. Rainier, the Duwamish Valley and the downtown Seattle skyline. The
City of Tukwila, Forterra (formerly Cascade Land Conservancy) and the Friends of the Hill (volunteer
neighborhood group) began working together in 2001 to protect the property when the then -owner proposed to
develop it. Culturally significant for its association with Puget Sound Salish (Lushootseed) oral traditions, the
Hill is a key location in the stories known as the "Epic of the Winds." In 2004, Forterra and the City acquired
the initial 8.6 -acre upland parcel, and in 2012 project partners purchased the adjacent 1.9 -acre flat parcel.
Protection of this cultural property has created one of King County's few public open space properties that
interprets Native American heritage. The City owns and manages the Preserve; Forterra retains a stewardship
easement and is actively involved in restoration activities.
In consultation with the Muckleshoot and Duwamish Tribes, during 2005 -09 project partners undertook Phase
1 restoration on the upland portion of the property, which opened to the public in 2010, following completion
of trails, viewpoints, an outdoor classroom, and landscape restoration. The first school field trips took place in
2010 -11, and hundreds of volunteers have worked to remove invasive species and debris, and to plant and
monitor native plants in several habitat areas. Eight original artworks (interpretive benches) depicting the
property's cultural and natural heritage were installed in 2011, and have become icons of the Preserve. In
2011, the Preserve received the King County Executive's Historic Preservation Award for Excellence in
Restoration.
CURRENT WORK (Phase 2): The flat northwestern 3.3 acres of the Preserve are now being transformed into
a cultural landscape showcasing five distinct lowland habitat areas — wetland, meadow, prairie, savannah, and
woodland — based on the communities of native plants having traditional cultural uses not only for ancestors of
the region's indigenous people, but also for contemporary tribal members and others interested in traditional
cultural practices. The intent here is not to create another display garden — with more than three acres of
restored habitat available, plantings will be in sufficient quantities to provide for sustainable annual harvests
for basket making, preparation of traditional foods, and other cultural purposes, in addition to opportunities for
heritage interpretation and recreation.
Ecological restoration of the Phase 2 project area will feature permanent exhibits of native plants selected in
consultation with the Muckleshoot and Duwamish Tribes and members of the Northwest Native American
Basket Weavers Association. Phase 2 will re- establish and make accessible a variety of species with traditional
cultural uses, including cedar, basket sedge, tules, camas, oak, beargrass, crabapple, salmonberry, and many
others. Interpretive signs with English, Latin and Lushootseed plant names will describe traditional cultural
uses. A large -scale etched granite artwork "Puget Sound Salish Seasonal Round" designed by Mette Hanson
will provide a focal point and central gathering place for the Phase 2 area. Sandstone and etched metal benches
located in the garden will interpret heritage themes related to traditional ecological knowledge. Following
establishment of the cultural garden, stewardship guidelines and protocols for sustainable harvest will be
8
Page 3 of 6
developed, with the goal of making some of the plants available for use each year, addressing a need identified
by contemporary tribal members and other cultural educators for access to traditional resources found in
lowland (urbanized) areas. Education programs about plants and Native culture will provide public benefit in
exchange for the use of these resources.
PRIORITIZATION: Fortunately, we secured two WA Heritage Capital Projects grants totaling $650,000
toward Phase 2, along with other smaller grants; unfortunately we had to start spending the state's funds before
we secured all of the funds needed for Phase 2. We sequenced work into Phase 2A consisting primarily of
earthwork, trail construction, and wetland /meadow establishment; and 2B consisting of interpretive elements
and remaining landscape exhibits. Although we had to complete the earthwork portion first for logistical
reasons, our highest priority now is to secure funds to complete Phase 2B and open this area to the public.
Funds from 4Culture are specifically requested to support the following elements of Phase 2B: establishment
of meadow and woodland landscapes, design and fabrication of an entrance kiosk, interpretive benches (5),
and interpretive signs (12). Kiosk, benches and signs are consistent with Phase 1 interpretive fixtures which
are intentionally subtle, and combine organic and industrial materials inspired by the area's natural and
cultural history.
ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXT: The Preserve is important in the context of the Tukwila Parks &
Recreation (P &R) Department, and the City of Tukwila's history, mission and goals for several reasons. The
Hill was an endangered cultural site that is significant to area Tribes; it is located in a diverse, low income
community that is under -served in terms of open space; there is a high level of community support and
involvement led by the Friends of the Hill; and the Tukwila School District has adopted the site as an outdoor
classroom. Tukwila P &R staff support to two citizen advisory boards, the Parks Commission and Arts
Commission, and manage more than 20 parks and community facilities, including significant archaeological
resources and public artworks.
PRESERVATION GUIDELINES: Ethnographic documentation identifies Duwamish Hill Preserve as having
the Lushootseed place name of St'gax' or "Beaver Lodge." The Preserve is potentially eligible for National
Register listing as part of a Traditional Cultural Property district, along with three nearby related sites, a
process that the Muckleshoot Tribe's cultural resources staff is leading. Restoration work at the Preserve is
consistent with the Secretary of the Interior's Guidelines for Treatment of Cultural Landscapes, including
identification of character - defining features, assessment of how the landscape has changed over time, and
preservation of historic fabric (plant material and geological features).
Project Impact
Explain why this project is a priority for your organization and what planning you have undertaken to prepare for this
project. Describe how this project will impact your organization's operations, and how it will benefit your community, King
County, underserved areas and/or audiences. Use quantifiable numbers in describing how this project will impact your
organization's ability to interpret King County history. We suggest you use about 250 words.
PRIORITIES & PLANNING: The Preserve is our priority because it represents an outstanding opportunity to
interpret Native American heritage, and provides a touchstone for our multi- ethnic community through its
focus on traditional cultural practices. Planning began with Master Plan development (2007) and Phase 1
design (2009) with input from the Tribes, Tukwila Historical Society, local residents, and other stakeholders.
Landscape architects at SvR Design, and artist/interpretive planner Mette Hanson, developed the Phase 2
design with broad stakeholder input.
Phase 2 restoration is prioritized in Tukwila's Capital Improvement Plan; the City contributed $750,000
toward acquisition of the West Parcel and $335,000 toward Phase 2 design. The City Council adopted a "Walk
9
Page 4 of 6
and Roll" pedestrian and bicycle plan, which includes a future trail along the west side of the Preserve in the
historic Interurban rail corridor, creating a multi -modal link from the existing Green River Trail to the planned
Light Rail station'/ mile to the north. An Education & Interpretive Plan (2011) guides development of our
interpretive program and K -12 education.
OPERATIONS: Tukwila P &R operates the Preserve as part of its park system, with a focus on opportunities
for heritage education and passive recreation. Forterra retains a Stewardship Easement (ownership and
management interest), and ensures that habitat stewardship, tribal cultural concerns, and educational and
interpretive objectives are addressed. P &R maintenance staff is responsible for the Preserve, and Friends of the
Hill work parties help with removing invasive plants, planting and monitoring native species, and other tasks.
Twice each year, the Preserve welcomes 50 -100 volunteers for Duwamish Alive events, a major regional
effort to reclaim and restore properties along the Duwamish River.
PROJECT IMPACT & PUBLIC BENEFIT: The primary impact of the project is to make Puget Sound Salish
heritage more visible in King County. The project re- connects tribal communities with their traditional lands,
provides access to those lands, and builds relationships between contemporary tribal and non - tribal
commun ities.
This project directly serves the ethnically diverse, working class community of Tukwila, where 80% of district
students qualify for free or reduced -price meals, and 37% are transitional bilingual speakers, an indication of
the population who are recent immigrants. The Duwamish Valley had the largest concentration of pre- contact
Native American winter villages in all of King County. The Preserve presents an opportunity to introduce
Tukwila's (and King County's) current residents to the area's Native American culture through traditional
stories, place names, and environmental awareness, as an "outdoor museum" interpreting these endangered
aspects of local heritage.
With community involvement in Phase 2 and ongoing public access to the Phase 1 area, our project has good
momentum and visibility. With recent openings of tribal museums at Tulalip and Suquamish, and cultural
programs at the nearby Duwamish Longhouse, we anticipate that public interest in regional Native American
heritage will grow. The Preserve offers an opportunity for tourists and King County residents to visit a
landscape that celebrates both the antiquity and the survival of Native American cultures in our region.
In terms of public access, each year over 500,000 people access nearby P &R facilities (Starfire Sports Park at
Fort Dent, Foster Golf Course, Tukwila Community Center, and Green River Trail). Users of these facilities
will be encouraged to visit the Preserve through directional signage and promotional information. As the
cultural significance of the site becomes better known through media and educational programs, residents and
visitors who want to know more about local Native American heritage will seek out the site.
HERITAGE INTERPRETATION: Acquisition of the West Parcel more than doubled the Phase 2 project area,
greatly expanding opportunities for interpretative displays and programs related to the cultural landscape. The
link between traditional stories, Lushootseed place names and native plants is strong in the area surrounding
the Preserve — rock outcroppings bear the names of characters in the Epic of the Winds stories (also called
North Wind and South Wind), and these characters weave baskets out of cattails, cedar roots and other
materials, to collect rain water and flood the Duwamish River. This battle of the winds is re- enacted annually
during tempestuous spring storms when Chinook winds bring warm rains that chase away winter weather.
Visitors to the Preserve have a chance to learn first -hand about several aspects of Puget Sound Salish oral
tradition.

Relevant Expertise / Experience / Accomplishments
Identify relevant members of your staff, both paid and volunteer, outside consultants, design team, project manager(s), and
their respective qualifications and responsibilities. Be sure your project's key personnel reflect expertise in the project
area. We suggest you use about 250 words.
The Preserve Management Team, comprised of City of Tukwila and Forterra staff, Friends of the Hill, and
project consultants, has worked collaboratively for more than a decade. Phase 2 restoration will be managed by
Dave Johnson, P &R Manager. Tukwila P &R staff directed Phase 1 work at the Preserve in partnership with
Forterra, led the Management Team's efforts, developed budgets for the project, and managed community
outreach. In addition, a landscape architect on the Tukwila Public Works staff will provide in -kind design
services for Phase 2B planting. Forterra project lead Hayes Swinney, Lands Stewardship Director, works
closely with City staff, and has been involved in several of Forterra's major restoration efforts in King County.
Nate Cormier, landscape architect at SvR Design, led the Master Plan and Phase 1 and 2 design development
processes; he recently decamped out of state but his colleagues Jennifer Lathrop and Justin Martin are ably
providing construction administration and design oversight. Artist and interpretive planner Mette Hanson
(known for her work for Forterra, Islandwood, and Woodland Park Zoo) created eight stone and metal
interpretive benches for Phase 1 conveying natural and cultural history themes, and she will design five more
for Phase 2. She also designed the Seasonal Round gathering place, and will design and oversee construction
of the kiosk and interpretive signs. Cultural resources consultant Holly Taylor developed the Education &
Interpretive Plan for the Preserve, and assists with tribal consultation, development of heritage interpretive
content, and fund raising.
Other members of the Management Team include landscape architect Brooke Alford (Friend of the Hill,
Watershed Steward and Tukwila Planning Commissioner); and Sean Albert (Friend of the Hill and Tukwila
Parks Commissioner), who lead volunteer recruitment and community engagement, and serve as neighborhood
advisors.
Project Implementation
Clearly state your project's timeline and priorities. Explain how you expect this project to be implemented. Summarize in
simple language the work that will be completed with 4Culture funding. Identify other funding sources, cash and in -kind, to
demonstrate community support for this project. If you have a long -term, complex project, describe the "big picture"
project and timeline for completion, along with specifics about the phase for which funding is requested. We suggest you use
about 250 words.
After acquiring the West Parcel in 2012, we undertook a series of planning studies on the Phase 2 project area
in 2013 -14, completed design development in early 2015 and began Phase 2A construction in July 2015. We
are prepared to commence with Phase 2B work as soon as funding is available.
Our project budget highlights the elements for which we are requesting 4Culture funding, and presents them in
priority order: (1) design work on the kiosk, benches, and signs; (2) installation and establishment of
remaining cultural landscape areas; (3) entrance kiosk (plus permits); (4) interpretive benches; (5) interpretive
signs. It would be efficient and preferable to proceed with all of these tasks in early 2016 so that we can open
the completed Phase 2 area to the public by summer 2016 without delay; however, it would be possible to
proceed sequentially as funding is secured. The management team deferred one element of Phase 2,
construction of a program shelter, until mid -2016, after earthwork and plantings are completed and the area is
open to the public, so that sight lines and visitor habits (including use of formal and informal trails, and
experiences of visiting K -12 classes) can be taken into account in finalizing the shelter's location and
proceeding with design.

4Culture's support for this project provides tangible recognition of the cultural value of the Preserve. Unlike
museums which collect and interpret artifacts, with this project the landscape itself is a curated artifact, and the
"exhibits" are living examples of restored native plant communities, with interpretation focused on the
traditional cultural uses of these resources by Puget Sound Salish people.
Forterra hosts the Preserve's web site www.duwamishhill.org (also linked from Tukwila P &R) which will be
expanded in the coming year to include educational and interpretive resources. In addition to web posting,
project publicity is sent to area media including the Seattle Times, community newspapers in Burien, Renton
and West Seattle, and the Tukwila blog. We also contribute articles to the City of Tukwila's newsletter and
Forterra's quarterly magazine (online and print). Project information is also shared with the Green Duwamish
Watershed Alliance and the Duwamish River Cleanup Coalition which seek to promote public interest in the
river. We are delighted that the Preserve was featured in this year's Duwamish Revealed project, and has
hosted regional gatherings of educators for storytelling and programs about the Duwamish River Valley.
In terms of the "big picture" of the Duwamish Hill Preserve project, initial acquisition was completed in 2004
for $998,700; Phase 1 was completed in 2010 for $825,000; and project partners raised another $1,050,000 to
acquire the West Parcel in 2012. Funding for acquisition, planning, and Phase 1 and 2 design and construction
has been provided by multiple grants from at least ten different public agencies; a dozen corporate, tribal and
foundation funders; and many individual donors who gave either money or time. We appreciate 4Culture's
support for every step of this project, including most recently for acquisition of the West Parcel ($50,000) and
archaeological survey ($13,600). We are proud that the Preserve's cultural and natural resource values are
reflected in the broad support from both environmental and heritage funders.

Use the space below to add any additional information you feel is necessary to explain a category or line item
[INCOME] government funding: all cash income is confirmed and committed to Phase 2 except WA Recreation & Conservation Office, which will be
requested for next year, along with the Muckleshoot grant, for the (deferred) program shelter.
In -kind City staff: P &R Director 4hrs /mo x 24 mo.; P &R mgr 60 hrs /mo. (2015 major construction), 20 hrs /mo (2016); P &R dep.& admin assist each
10hrs /mo. Staff serve as project managers for contracting & construction, supervise field staff on cap project, grant admin.
Other staff in -kind is targeted construction tasks that maintenance staff can efficiently perform (fence removal, irrigation installation), and
supplemental design tasks. In -kind work parties: Friends of the Hill avg. 15 people x 3 hrs x 4 per year x $20 /hr = $3,600 per year;
Duwamish Alive events at least 50 people x 3 hrs x 2 per year x $20 /hr = $6,000 per year. All in -kind is 2015 -2016.
[EXPENSES] design: SvR fee = City CIP funds; Mette's Phase 2B fee (structures design, content, graphics, fabrication oversight) $5,000 for entrance
kiosk, $16,000 for benches; Mette's work on Phase 2A Seasonal Round artwork & interp. sign design included in SvR fee.
Preplanning studies = King Conservation District (hydrology, soil, topography, crew time) and 4Culture funds (archaeological survey)
Construction phase 2A and gathering place artwork = WA HCP funding; work is currently underway and includes major excavation to remove &
relocate up to 6 feet of fill in wetland areas, plus trails, soil prep, some planting, irrigation, erosion control, etc.
Construction phase 2B installation combines conservation crew days & volunteers, reducing costs by $140,000 compared to commercial bid;
installation includes plants, crew time, soil prep, establishment for woodland (dry/wet buffer, forest, shrub areas), meadow area
Program shelter: this element will be deferred as phase 2C, following completion of phase 2A and 2B, to that siting and design decisions can better
take into account visitor needs and habits. Any unneeded contingency funds will be applied here.
Kiosk to be fabricated from peeled cedar logs, with custom metal armature, in keeping with Phase 1 design aesthetic which combined organic and
industrial materials (materials $5,750; construction /installation $6,500; panel design, fabrication, installation $8,300)
Interpretive benches made from blocks of Wilkeson sandstone (similar to what was quarried in Tukwila ca. 1900) w /etched metal artwork on
traditional ecological knowledge themes; design for 5 new benches is consistent w/8 benches installed on the Hill in 2010
Interpretive signs (12 free standing) incorporate Duwamish traditional basketry design, identify cultural landscape elements, describe traditional
cultural uses of plants
Permits for kiosk construction are outrageously expensive due to state shoreline management jurisdiction. We tried to negotiate a more reasonable
fee, and we got nowhere with that.
Acquisition = City REET (Real estate excise tax), King County Conservation Futures and 4Culture funding
Fundraising and cultural resource planning = City funding

The Seasonal Round created by Mette Hanson will serve as a gathering place and focal point for the cultural garden. This installation
will be seventeen feet in diameter, etched in granite, and set into a concrete base. The work highlights cultural uses of native plants
and other resoureces, and features the "Gatherer's Creed" in the center. It has been already been funded as part of Phase 2A, but
we are really excited about it and wanted to show it off, even though it is not part of our grant request to 4Culture.
A group of volunteers celebrate their good work at the Duwamish Alive! event in April of 2015.
