Tulalip WA
Tulalip Washington is a 22,000 acre, 35 square mile federally-recognized Indian tribal land. Its boarders are the Snohomish River to the south, FireTrail road to the north, Interstate-5 the the east and the waters of Puget Sound to the West. It is Adjacent to the western boarder of the city of Marysville just North of Everett, WA in Snohomish County. The Reservation is rich with natural resources: marine waters, tidelands, fresh water creeks and lakes, wetlands, forests and developable land. On warm days you might catch children playing on stand-up paddle boards or watching gray whales feed near the shore. Most homes in Tulalip have nice size lots and are surrounded by wooded areas.
During the 1970s and ’80s most Native Americans on the Tulalip reservation relied on fishing for income and food. Their resources and support services were limited. As was seen by the modest portable trailers that once housed the reservation’s only health and dental clinics.
Since then, the Tulalip Resort Casino, which opened in 2004, along with an outlet mall and other businesses have funneled millions of dollars back into the community to provide services for some 2,600 tribal residents of the reservation, according to the Tulalip Tribes website. In 2003, the tribes built a $9 million health and wellness center. New athletic fields and a skate park overlooking Tulalip Bay were completed in 2016. In 2017, the Tulalip Tribes was the fourth-largest employer in Snohomish County.
The Reservation comprises the western half of the Marysville-Tulalip community. The Marysville School District serves both the city and the reservation. Boarding along Interstate 5 you will find the Tulalip Resort Casino and luxury hotel as well as many large retailers like Walmart, Home Depot, Cabela’s and the Seattle Premium Outlet Mall.

What County is Tulalip WA in?
Tulalip is in Snohomish County WA in the zip code 98271.
Leased Land & Deeded Land on the Tulalip Reservation
The Tulalip reservation offers both deeded land and leased Land. When a land is deeded, the deed holder has all rights to the land and the property built on that land just as it is in any other property in the United States on non tribal land. The only difference is that you will have to pay a 1% fee to the Tulalip Tribe when you sell your property.
When you buy a property that is on leased land, you’re buying the improvements on the land, as well as the rights to exclusively use the land. No one else can claim rights to use it during your lease period.
Leased Land is either leased from the Tulalip Tribes or from the Tulalip members of the Fryberg family. The Fryberg land is a 72-acre property which includes the 71/2 mile coast of Hermosa Beach. When you lease from the Tulalip Tribe you pay a monthly lease fee which is based on the value of the land and is reassessed every three years. When you lease from the Fryberg family you pay a yearly lease fee which is reassessed every five years. Because of the Indian tribal land, one can find waterfront homes at bargain prices on leased Tulalip property.

“I would recommend her 100 times over, her experience and knowledge was exactly what we needed…”
My husband and I purchased a river front lot in Chelan County for our future dream home. Amy was more than amazing during this process. She was calling the county to obtain setback & flood information, she helped us figure out where our building envelope would be. We have potential for a dock and she helped with obtaining all info and requirements to start that process. She knows her way around the county to get the information that was needed to make the purchase. I had full confidence in her skills and experience with raw land. We made the purchase for our dream home location, permits being submitted soon!!! Can’t thank her and her team enough for giving us the confidence we needed to buy such a desirable waterfront lot with obvious hoops involved. I would recommend her 100 times over, her experience and knowledge was exactly what we needed to make this dream a reality!
