The Duwamish Tribe requests that if any archaeological work or monitoring is performed, we would like notification.
Cultural and archaeological resources are non-renewable and are best discovered prior to ground disturbance. The
Tribe would also like the opportunity to be present if or when an archaeologist is on site.
