Recognizing Native American Heritage Month [ #heritage ]
*
An Intern to GM: Driving King County Metro’s Future [ #gm ]
________________________________________________________________________
By De’Sean Quinn, King County Metro Assistant General Manager for Strategy and Partnerships
As Native American Heritage Month comes to a close, I invite you to join me in reflecting on the privilege of living in a region shaped by the deep history and enduring contributions of Native American communities.
In Washington state, 29 tribes are part of a network of more than 500 federally recognized tribes across the United States. In King County, we live on the ancestral lands of the Muckleshoot, Snoqualmie, Puyallup, Tulalip, Suquamish, Coast Salish Tribes, and the Duwamish people.
Native American Heritage Month provides an opportunity to honor the resilience, contributions, and cultures of Native peoples. It is also a chance to reflect on how we can support a future where Native communities are not only acknowledged but thrive.
Here are a few other resources and sites to explore:
* Daybreak Star Indian Cultural Center: [ [link removed] ] Located on 20 acres in Seattle’s Discovery Park, this cultural hub serves urban Indians throughout the Seattle area. Accessible via Metro bus route 33.
* Snoqualmie Falls: [ [link removed] ] This sacred site holds cultural and spiritual significance for the Snoqualmie Tribe. You can visit via Metro bus route 208, departing from the Issaquah Transit Center Monday through Saturday, with a drop-off just half a mile from the falls.
* The Duwamish Longhouse and Cultural Center [ [link removed] ]: A vital hub for preserving and sharing the culture, history and traditions of the Duwamish Tribe, Seattle’s first people. The center features exhibits, events, and workshops highlighting the Duwamish Tribe’s contributions and ongoing advocacy. Metro Flex now serves Delridge and South Park [ [link removed] ], offering affordable, on-demand rides to destinations like the Longhouse, bookable via app or phone.
* Real Rent Duwamish [ [link removed] ]: Discover resources like this holiday placemat [ [link removed] ], offering ways to honor Native American history and heritage during Thanksgiving.
* Other local resources: Explore Intentionalist’s list of local Indigenous-owned businesses [ [link removed] ] or the Visit Seattle’s [ [link removed] ] list of Native events, heritage sites and businesses.
By learning and building meaningful connections, we can deepen our understanding of the sovereign tribes in Washington and their invaluable contributions to our communities. Let’s continue to honor these legacies with curiosity, respect and action.

An Intern to GM: Driving King County Metro’s Future
"This article by Andrew Binion originally appeared in "Seattle University Magazine [ [link removed] ]"."
*Michelle Allison, ’10 MPA, started with the King County Council while working on her degree and 13 years later is leading the largest mass transit agency in the Northwest.*
“That was a very regular part of what I was brought up thinking and understanding is this shared space for transit and connection and mobility,” says Allison, ‘10 MPA, who today is the General Manager of King County Metro.
Each week, Metro—the seventh largest transit agency in the U.S.—provides more than 1 million rides, removing countless cars from roadways and delivering a lifeline for people to not only travel to work or the airport, but also to the grocery store, doctor’s appointments and to visit friends and family. In addition to bus, on-demand, paratransit, vanpool and water taxi services, Metro also operates Seattle’s two streetcars, Sound Transit Link light rail and Sound Transit Express buses.
Overseeing this massive movement of people from her office in Pioneer Square—and guiding public transit’s recovery from the pandemic—is Allison. Her trajectory to leading the agency may have its origins in tiny Homer while observing the community-building potential in organizing a reliable transportation system, but it took off when she was a student in Seattle University’s Master of Public Administration program.
While attending SU and fulfilling a requirement of the program, Allison landed an internship working for a King County Council member. That internship turned into a full-time position, then a promotion, then another.
