Courtyard Marriot @ The Alaska Building - OPUS N.W.

This renovation of a downtown Seattle landmark was a challenge for our team of employees, but it ended up being a complete success! All of the interior rooms are equipped with welded hollow metal door frames by CECO, plastic laminated wood doors by Western Oregon Door and hardware from our 'main' lines: Corbin Russwin, McKinney, Norton, and Rockwood. There were over 900 doors supplied for this project and required multiple on-site visits, shipments, and coordination out of our office.

First Baptist Church - Noble Development

Construction of a new complex for the First Baptist Church of Eugene. Project consisted of a three story building with children’s wing, music wing, administration wing, a youth wing, and a beautiful Sanctuary in the center. The cherry doors were made match the cherry veneer throughout the building. Corbin Russwin was used throughout the building along with Western Oregon Door wood doors.

White Stag Block (University of Oregon Portland Campus)

The White Stag Block is actually three different buildings leased by the University of Oregon for use as a Portland Campus. All three of these buildings make up about 103,000 square feet of the historic White Stag Block in Portland’s Old Town. This job required special attention in order to duplicate the historical feel and style of the building. Twenty custom 10’-6” Stile & Rail doors were made for the Bickel storefront and most interior openings needed special pull handles, finishing, and coordination.

Silver Reef Hotel - Aecon Buildings, Inc.

Construction of a new high-end hotel and casino resort by Aecon Buildings. The hotel consists of 105 guest rooms and a total of around 425 new doors for the whole project. Corbin Russwin panic devices, and closers were used on this project as well as CECO hollow metal doors and frames and 160 Woodtech Stile & Rail doors.

Royal Caribbean Call Center - Workstage, LLC

The cruise line spared no expense when they built the monstrous call center in 2005. From the winter white exterior with the “smoke stack” to the interior environmentally friendly heating & cooling system, this building is truly unique. About 120 hollow metal and white maple doors with round portholes grace the interior for that 'cruise ship feel.' Many of the openings required on-site fabrication for hollow metal window walls that reached 15’ in height.

Lakeland Fire Station #33 - Powell Construction

Lakeland Fire Station #33 for the Valley Regional Fire Authority in Auburn, Washington was one of the first jobs where E&S Hardware used Integrated Wiegand Lockset Technology (Access 600/800 tcRNE1) which incorporates all of the traditional access control items into a single lockset! We became ASSA ABLOY Authorizerd Channel Partners for this project and we have used these products, and ones like them, on many other projects. Lakeland Fire Station also used Norton Door Closers and a Pyramid Restricted Key Systems.

The Puyallup or S’Puyalupubsh (“generous and welcoming behavior to all people (friends and strangers) who enter our lands.”) are a federally recognized Coast SalishNative Americantribe from western Washington state, U.S.A. They were forcibly relocated onto reservation lands in what is today Tacoma, Washington, in late 1854, after signing the Treaty of Medicine Creek with the United States. Today they have an enrolled population of 4,000, of whom 2500 live on the reservation.

The Puyallup Indian Reservation (Lua error in Module:Coordinates at line 668: callParserFunction: function '#coordinates' was not found.) today is one of the most urban Indian reservations in the United States. It is located primarily in northern Pierce County, with a very small part extending north into the city of Federal Way, in King County. Parts of seven communities in the Tacoma metropolitan area extend onto reservation land; in addition the tribe controls off-reservation trust land.

In decreasing order of included population, the communities are Tacoma, Waller, Fife, Milton, Edgewood, Puyallup, and Federal Way. The reservation has a land area of 73.935 km² (28.547 sq mi), and a 2000 census resident population of 41,341 persons. These are predominantly non-Native Americans. The tribe has 4,000 enrolled members, of whom 2500 live on the reservation.

According to the census, more than 72 percent of the residents within the reservation boundaries identified as only Caucasian (European-American), and 3.2 percent identify as solely of Native American ancestry. The Puyallup, as with other Native American tribes, have long assimilated other ethnicities through intermarriage and adoption. They have brought up ethnically mixed children to identify with the tribe, both culturally and ethnically.

History

The Puyallup tribe originally spoke the Puyallup Nisqually language of the Salishan family of languages, predominant among Northwest Coast indigenous peoples. They share a culture similar to that of other Northwest tribes, with a diet that depended on fishing salmon and other regional fish.

From the mid-nineteenth century, European Americans began to enter the area in greater numbers. The United States wanted to enable development of lands and settlement by these people. They arranged with the Puyallup and several other tribes, under the Treaty of Medicine Creek (1854), for the tribes to cede land to the US and go to the more restricted area of a reservation. This was initially designated for residence only by tribal members. The Puyallup and United States representatives had such different conceptions of property that they did not fully understand each other's position. While the tribe lost most of its historic territory, it retained rights for fishing, hunting and gathering on that land.

With a land area of 73.935 km² (28.547 sq mi), its reservation is one of the largest in the Northwest. Due to land sales at a time when land was distributed to householders and other developments, neighboring jurisdictions have territory within the reservation. The total population within the reservation is predominantly non-Native and not tribal members, according to the 2000 census.

Government

In 1936 the Tribal Government was formed under the Wheeler Howard Act (also known as the Indian Reorganization Act), authorizing Native American tribes to re-establish their governments. The tribe wrote a constitution creating an elected government of representation at the Tribal Council, supported by a Tribal Court for certain level of issues among its tribal members.

Tribal Council

The tribal council is an elected body of seven people who oversee the operation of all the tribal programs. The Tribal Council is vested with power to govern by the Constitution. The Council acts as both the legislative and administrative bodies of the government. Members are elected by the general membership for three-year terms.

The tribe operates numerous programs that are open to the public beyond enrolled members. The current council members and their profiles are found at 'Tribal Council. Among its programs, the tribe operates the Chief Leschi School for tribal children.

The tribe at large also elects a chairman, who works directly with the Council. The current chairman of the Puyallup Tribe is Bill Sterud.

Tribal Court

The Tribal Court and Children's Court (hereinafter “Court”) were established by the Puyallup Tribe's Constitution. The court's mission is to apply the written laws of its legislature, while recognizing the inherent customs and traditions of its people. The Court is devoted to protecting people's due process rights. The tribe explicitly works to protect children and elders, “who are considered sacred”. The Court's Chief Justice is Darwin Long Fox. The schedule and makeup of the Tribal Court can be found at this website: 'Tribal Court', Puyallup Tribe.

Economic development

Initially the federal government wanted Native Americans to develop the family farms then typical of European Americans. This was not a concept that the Puyallup were comfortable adopting. They remained deeply involved in fishing, which constituted such an important part of their culture that it is surrounded by ritual and spirituality.

With economic and social changes in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, the tribe needed to develop other sources of employment and income than farming for its people. In the twentieth century, the tribe generated income through cigarette sales; they could sell them at a lower price and tax-free to non-Natives, as their reservation is sovereign territory and they do not need to pay state taxes from their businesses. In recent years,^[when?] the tribe signed an agreement with the State of Washington to sell cigarettes with taxes paid. The tribe and the state have a sharing of tax revenue collected from sales of cigarettes.

Casino history

Since the late twentieth century, numerous states have used gambling, based on lotteries and other methods, as a source of revenue to support programs wanted by taxpayers. Changes in federal law and negotiations with such states have enabled federally recognized tribes on many reservations to establish bingo and other gambling facilities to generate revenue.

Searching for new revenues and employment for its people, the Puyallup opened the Emerald Queen Casino in 1996 on a paddlewheelriverboat, the Emerald Queen, which it berthed in the Port of Tacoma. In 2004, as part of an agreement with the Port to accommodate further commercial development of the waterway, the tribe closed the operation on the boat and its shore-side property. The Emerald Queen riverboat is still located at the site but is closed indefinitely.

The tribe has developed related gaming and entertainment facilities in two other locations, keeping the name Emerald Queen Casino for its overall operation. In the 21st century, a majority of the tribe's income is generated from the gambling casinos and related restaurant, retail and hotel facilities.

In total area, the casino is one of the largest^{[clarification needed]} in Washington state. It has locations in both Tacoma and Fife. The Tacoma location, also known as the Interstate 5 (I-5) location, includes the casino, a restaurant and buffet, a nightclub, and an entertainment venue. A majority of the casino is located in a large tent structure. Originally intended as a temporary facility, the tent has continued to be used pending other development. The permanent structure of the casino is located in the old Puyallup Bingo Hall. The I-5 location opened originally in 2001, and the tent addition was opened in 2004.

The Fife location includes a casino and a 140-room hotel. The tribe adapted a Best Western hotel for these purposes after purchasing the building in 2004. After renovation, the casino was opened in early 2005. The tribe undertook a major expansion in summer 2007, building two parking garages, a pool, a spa, new administrative towers, a ballroom, and a larger gaming area. The casino's restaurant, formerly named the Pacific Rim, was moved to the south tower and renamed the Tatoosh Grill. What is now the Pacific Rim Buffet is located on the ground floor of the tower.

Other ventures

The Puyallup Tribe has used its economic development branch, Marine View Ventures, to expand into operating several gas stations on the reservation. In the early 21st century, it was using gambling revenues to invest in a partnership for a large container facility at the Port of Tacoma. When completed, it will be the largest such facility in the Northwest and will connect the tribe to the shipping trade.^[1]
