Overview
Gaffney Construction completed the Stillaguamish Tribe of Indians' administration building in Arlington in January 2016. Designed by Womer & Associates, the two-story building brought 14 tribal departments and the tribal council chambers together in one location.
The canoe-shaped atrium connects the offices with space for public gatherings. An upper-level bridge crosses the open lower floor, and stepped seating provides a place for informal performances. Kalwall skylights bring daylight into the atrium, where 40-foot-tall turned logs support the interior structure.
The building's river theme continues through polished concrete floors, carved paddle details and a carved tree with wooden eagles. Outside, a gathering area sits beside a preserved stand of cedars. The project received a Citation Award in the 2019 AIA Washington Council Civic Design Awards, with Womer & Associates credited as the design firm.
