The Muckleshoot Halloween event brought together Tribal employees and the youngest members of the community for a fun, safe, and memorable morning. Departments lined the buildings with tables offering candy, small toys, and warm greetings.
This year’s event focused on children five and under, giving them an opportunity to enjoy Halloween in a comfortable and welcoming environment. Staff members dressed up, and created a lighthearted atmosphere that made the experience exciting but not overwhelming for the little kids. Employees handed out treats and exchanged friendly conversations.
Costumes ranged from tiny superheroes to animals, princesses, pumpkins, and firefighters.
The event also gave employees a chance to connect with the community in a meaningful way. For many staff, showing up for the kids is one of the highlights of the season, and their effort helped make the morning smooth, safe, and joyful for kids and a great start to their Halloween celebrations.

The Muckleshoot Tribal Council, Muckleshoot Intergovernmental Affairs, and our D.C. team were actively engaged since the BBB’s inception in January to ensure that the Tribe’s sovereignty and treaty rights were protected in this process.

Muckleshoot Tribal Council is closely monitoring actions coming from D.C. and listening to the concerns of our people. This month, Muckleshoot Tribal Council sent a delegation to Washington, D.C. to carry your voice to key politicians.
