Building Project
Welcome to the Home of the Steilacoom Tribe
June 2024
We are excited to share some photos that showcase the beginning of our construction project. It's thrilling to see the progress that’s unfolding!
These photos capture the significant steps that have been taken so far; including the scraping and sealing of the paint. Just a week ago, they had only started on the side of the building. Now there's so much visible progress!
This has been a long journey, with so many people contributing to get us to this point. It’s a blessing to see all of the hard work paying off. Thank you everyone for your continued support on this project! Photos provided by Steilacoom Tribal Chairwoman, Rebecca.

A Heartfelt Thank You & Exciting Update from the Steilacoom Tribal Museum
As we stand on the brink of a new chapter in our Museum's story, we're pausing to express our deepest gratitude to the incredible Community that has brought us to this moment. The journey towards our upcoming renovation has truly been a collaborative effort, and it’s your support that lights our path forward.
A Huge Thank You to Our Volunteers & Supporters
We've been overwhelmed by the generosity of our Steilacoom, WA Community during the packing phase. Thanks to so many of your donations, we had access to all of the boxes and packing supplies we needed. You helped turn a daunting task into a testament of community spirit. A special shout-out to our dedicated volunteers from the United States Army at JBLM—your help was invaluable! Your efforts have not only prepared our building for its next phase but also fortified the bond between us. Photos provided by Steilacoom Tribal Youth, Sakari.
Behind-the-Scenes Heroes
Our journey wouldn't be possible without the tireless support from the Town of Steilacoom staff, the Mayor, Steilacoom community volunteers, and the Steilacoom Town Council. In addition to our Steilacoom Tribal Council, and our building project managers that we've had throughout the project. All of the behind-the-scenes work is ensuring that our Tribal Museum will continue to preserve our People's History. We are embracing a future where we will continue to be a beacon of the Culture and Heritage of the Steilacoom Tribe. We’re on the cusp of beginning construction and can hardly wait to embark on this transformational phase. Scroll down to see a collection of photos that capture some of these moments of preparation. Thank you to Sakari, from our Tribal Youth, for this visual representation of the journey we're eager to share with you. Stay tuned as we will continue to share updates with you as they are available.
