BLACK LIVES MATTER. LGBTQ LIVES MATTER. INDIGENOUS LIVES MATTER. IMMIGRANT LIVES MATTER. LIVING WITH DISABILITY LIVES MATTER. ASIAN AMERICANS AND PACIFIC ISLANDERS LIVES MATTER. LIVING IN HOMELESSNESS LIVES MATTER. HISPANIC AND LATINX LIVES MATTER.

We acknowledge and recognize that we are on the ancestral lands and traditional home of the sx̌ʷəbabš Coast Salish Native People, the first people of Vashon Island. This land was their home for millennia before Euro-American voyagers and settlers came and they were forcibly removed from these lands and relocated onto neighboring Reservations, including Puyallup, Nisqually, Squaxin Island, and Muckleshoot. Vashon Island is their traditional home and their historical relationship with the land continues today. We honor the island itself and the sx̌ʷəbabš people past and present.

Proud Member since 2021
