Duwamish Longhouse and Cultural Center
4705 W. Marginal Way SW, 206.431.1582
Opened in January 2009, the Duwamish Longhouse now proudly sits near the mouth of the Duwamish River overlooking the Duwamish River Valley, not far from the landing site of early immigrants. It is also near the ancient Duwamish village hah-AH-poos, on the National Register of Historic Places. For millennia before there was a city called Seattle, thousands of indigenous people - the Duwamish Tribe - lived in harmony with the natural surroundings that sustained them. The native animals and plants were a part of their culture and heritage as well as a source of their food and shelter. A traditional cedar post and beam structure designed in the Puget Salish style, the Longhouse - as in ancient times - is the site where tribal business is conducted and cultural and educational events are held. It is open to the public Monday though Saturday from 10am-5pm.
