On Sunday, September 27, 2026, Muckleshoot families and community members gathered for a heartwarming Grandparents Brunch celebrating the special role grandparents and Elders play in our lives and community. The event brought together multiple generations for a morning filled with delicious food, and meaningful connections. Grandparents enjoyed spending time with their children and grandchildren, sharing stories and memories that made the gathering truly memorable. Events like the Grandparents Brunch remind us of the importance of honoring our Elders and recognizing the wisdom, guidance, and love they pass on to future generations. Their teachings and support help strengthen family bonds and preserve the values and traditions that enrich our community. Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make the event a success. We are grateful for the grandparents and Elders whose dedication, resilience, and care continue to inspire our families every day.

Muckleshoot has been making movies about the tribe’s efforts to protect our culture, salmon, and the habitat we all depend on – and the film world is taking notice.

The Tribal Council went to Washington, D.C. in April to press for the Tribe’s federal agenda and strengthen the Tribe’s government- to-government relationship with the United States.

It’s springtime and the Muckleshoot Fisheries Division is pleased to announce that the Tribe’s Vashon Island tidelands are OPEN for Clam Digging and Oyster Harvest Permits are now available at the Fisheries Office.

As the Friends of the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery celebrates its 30th anniversary, we are taking a look back at the people and the activities that brought about the formation and development of this unique organization and partnership.
