The Tulalip Tribes of Washington are planning to repair an ailing tribal longhouse that may need to be replaced altogether.

The longhouse is suffering from a number of structural defects and has been temporarily closed. The tribe plans to spend $150,000 to repair the longhouse in time for the First Salmon Ceremony in June.

Chairman Stan Jones Sr. said the tribe should build a newer, bigger longhouse. He said the current building lacks enough space to host tribal ceremonies.
