We love hearing from our community. To help us share stories in a timely and organized way, all content for the Muckleshoot Messenger is due by 5pm on the first Friday of each month. This timeline helps us make sure each story is given the care and attention it deserves.
Tribal departments and Tribal Members are welcome to submit stories, announcements, photos, and event recaps. Please send submissions to katie.manzanares@muckleshoot.nsn.us and/or shayna.brown@muckleshoot.nsn.us.
Submissions received after the deadline may be included in a future issue.
Thank you for continuing to share your stories.
