The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) maintains government-to-government relations with 35 federally recognized tribal governments. Twenty-nine tribes are located in Washington State; the additional six tribes have reservations outside the state, but have traditional homelands, treaty rights or other interests within the state.

WSDOT's HQ Tribal Liaison focuses on government-to-government relations, communication and education to help tribes and the agency work effectively with each other. The HQ Tribal Liaison serves as a point of contact for tribes within WSDOT and identifies additional decision makers and technical staff who can assist tribes with their questions or issues. More...
