This year's Canoe Journey, the first since 2019, is part of a long tradition that celebrates Tribal heritage and culture. Over the next month, canoe families from throughout the Pacific Northwest (and beyond) will make their way to the shores of Elliott Bay as part of the Paddle to Muckleshoot, stopping at Tribal host sites along the way. Many of these stops, including the final landing in Seattle, are open to the public. Learn more about the history of Canoe Journeys and explore Tribal resources to dive deeper on the Maritime Washington website.

At the roughly 600-square-mile Hanford Site, the Army Corps of Engineers and the DuPont Corporation built massive plutonium production facilities along the Columbia River and forever transformed the site itself and the surrounding communities. In early 1943, residents of communities in the area were informed that the government had acquired their lands under the war powers authority. One town was acquired by the U.S. Army to house Manhattan Project workers, at one point housing 22,000 residents during peak plutonium production for the World War II efforts. Which Washington farm town did the U.S. Army buy and develop into a "bedroom community" for the workers of the Manhattan Project in 1943? A.
