Yesterday's Welcome Pole Dedication was a truly special event! Suquamish Tribe elder and master carver Randi Purser’s 14-foot cedar Welcome Pole is a breathtaking addition to the Sound to Olympics Trail and Bainbridge Island. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended the dedication! The pole represents Chief Seattle’s father, Schweabe, and complements another carved post* across Puget Sound that honors his mother, Scholitza, holding him as a baby. This incredible piece of cultural art was gifted to the city by the Bainbridge Island Parks & Trails Foundation, with funding from community donations and a Rotary Club of Bainbridge Island grant. We proudly partnered to manage and install the Welcome Pole. Visit the Welcome Pole on the Winslow Connector section of the STO (just up the hill from Winslow Way at SR 305)—a powerful symbol of Suquamish land acknowledgment and an invitation to learn more about Suquamish art and culture. *Randi Purser's carved post along the City of Seattle Waterfront will be a part of Oscar Tuazon and Collaborators' series of post and beam structures?that reflect the construction of traditional pre-settlement structures that were found on the shores of Puget Sound; these will stretch across three blocks along the waterfront, spanning over the bike path, from Columbia Street to Spring Street.
