Snohomish

Snohomish Indians

The Snohomish Indians, part of the Nisqually dialectic group within the Salishan linguistic stock, resided along the lower Snohomish River and southern Whidbey Island. Their subdivisions included Sdugwadskabsh, Skwilsidiabsh, and Tukwetlbabsh, spanning various villages. The population experienced a decline from approximately 1,200 in 1780 to 350 by 1850. By 1910, the recorded population was 664. The Snohomish name persists today through the Snohomish River, Snohomish County, and a city bearing their name.
