Partnerships & Cooperation
WSDOT worked with the Hood Canal Salmon Enhancement Group, which originated the project.
At WSDOT we seek to address the concerns of the tribal nations using the process outlined in Section 106 of The National Historic Preservation Act and the WSDOT Tribal Consultation Policy adopted in 2003 by the Transportation Commission as part of the WSDOT Centennial Accord Plan.
The Skokomish Tribal Nation was involved in project development activities. The project required an easement on Skokomish Tribal Nation land.
