'Our heritage is a gift': 500-year-old log is carved into Tulalip welcome
EDMONDS — A 15-foot-tall woman with piercing eyes stares out over the Salish Sea.
From her vantage point, she faces the Edmonds ferry dock, then the sea, and off in the distance, the Tulalip Reservation.
When the Edmonds Waterfront Center commissioned Ty Juvinel to carve a welcome figure, he knew he wanted to dedicate it to mothers — to the matriarchs by blood or by happenstance — who guide and strengthen communities.
“Mothers, grandmothers, they can see the potential you have that you don’t know yet,” said Juvinel, a member of the Tulalip Tribes. “They help push you in ways that sometimes you can’t see.”
