The century mark is quickly creeping up on the Suquamish Tribe, which will use this weekend to spread goodwill and promote cultural understanding with its 94th celebration of Chief Seattle Days. The event, which follows a year of neighbors squabbling over Old Man House Park, should be given special focus.
