Heron's Nest Community Kitchen Phase 1

About This Grant

Heron's Nest is a volunteer-led project focused on repatriating a 3.5 acre parcel of land to the Duwamish Tribe. To do this, the land will be purchased and placed in a trust held by Duwamish Tribal Services. Our goal for this land is to provide community accessible facilities including workshop, class, and meeting spaces, a recycling facility, office space, storage, and short term accommodations for tribal members. An important element of our plan is the development of an outdoor kitchen facility. We have preliminary plans to build the kitchen in the shape and style of a traditional Duwamish Longhouse with cedar beams and roof. With this funding award we will complete the first phase of the outdoor kitchen which includes finalizing the design and completing the permitting processes. Phase 1 of this project will be completed by December 29, 2023.
