The city of Everett, Washington, is looking for a suitable home for an 80-year-old totem pole carved by a Tulalip tribal leader.

The 64-foot totem, the work of William Shelton, has been kept from public view since 1996, when workers discovered that it was near collapse. It underwent a $15,000 restoration project, which was completed a year ago, but it has to be kept indoors to protect it from the elements.

The pole tells 16 different stories in its carvings.
