We also recommend that Tacoma voters say NO to the sale of public waterfront property. The language in the City Charter Amendment does NOT guarantee the lands will stay as public use for perpetuity.

For six years now, 350 Tacoma (with the support of City of Tacoma Environmental Services) have been working to restore this long-neglected but resilient site located deep in the industrial Port of Tacoma, nestled between a fossil fuel terminal and a container shipping yard. As part of the Tacoma Open Space Program, we host periodic work parties at the site to remove invasive weeds, restore native habitat, and pick up litter. The salt marsh was initially named for a French chemical company — Rhone Poulenc — that once operated on this site, but in consultation with the Puyallup Tribal Language Program we worked to restore a native Twulshootseed place name: qʷiqʷəlut (“little marsh").![]()
![]()
qʷiqʷəlut is located on the ancestral lands of the Puyallup Tribe. Prior to colonization, the area known today as the Port of Tacoma was a thriving pristine estuary, with abundant marine life, wildlife, trees and plants. Much of the tideflats was filled in with contaminated soil from nearby heavy industry, and paved over in the early 1900’s, to create more “land” for Port business operations.
Tonight, join us as we carry our burdens into city council! Speak about the burdens this city government helped put on your back--![]()
Pollution that lowers our life expectancy & causes disease, paving over the aquifer our grandchildren should be able to rely on for water, toxic industry on the tideflats killing off the salmon runs and shellfish, tax breaks to greedy developers and raises to an overpaid yet unaccountable city manager instead creating public housing, police trained to swarm a peaceful protest in riot gear yet somehow lacking the training to de-escalate simple situations or practice basic humanity when someone with brown skin says "I can't breathe".![]()
