History


The Snohomish people had a village at Rocky Point (Lushootseed: č̓ƛ̕aʔqs) that was primarily used for temporary dwellings outside of the rainy months; it was across the mouth of the Snohomish River from the more prominent village of hibulb at modern-day Preston Point in Everett. The site was partially excavated in 2001 following the discovery of human remains during construction. Rocky Point was part of the Tulalip Indian Reservation when it was established following the 1855 Treaty of Point Elliott, in which the Snohomish ceded most of their lands.
The Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate, a French Catholic missionary congregation, established a residential school for indigenous children on the Tulalip Reservation in 1857. Father Eugene Casimir Chirouse chose a site at Rocky Point, which was renamed Priest Point, and a log house was constructed for the Mission of St. Anne's. It was moved to a new hillside location on modern-day Meridian Avenue with an adjacent cemetery. The residential school received federal funding and remained at Priest Point until it was destroyed by a fire in 1902 and replaced by a new campus near Mission Beach. Approximately two dozen unmarked graves at the Priest Point Cemetery have the remains of children who died at the residential school.
