The Tulalip Tribes of Washington are working with state and federal officials on a $4 million marsh restoration project.

The tribe says years of loggers, farmers and industry have dried out nearly all of the Snohomish River marsh. The project seeks to restore the marsh by removing dikes and tide gates.

The tribe is seeking public comment about the Qwuloolt Estuary Restoration Project. Qwuloolt means "great marsh" in Lushootseed.
