As a kid, I practically grew up at the Duwamish Tribal Services office in Burien. I most remember the taste of envelopes – prepping mailers for what seemed like hours – playing with the copy machine and making mad dashes next door for a treat from McDonalds. The office back then was modest; one could hardly tell it was the home of Seattle’s first people, but it certainly felt like home to me.
