Fundraising drive continues for Tulalip cultural center The Hibulb Cultural Center and Natural History Preserve likely will cost the Tulalip Tribes about $19 million by the time it's finished in 2010. So far, the Tulalip Tribes have pledged $6 million, and a Washington state Heritage Grant has provided $1 million, according to figures provided by the tribal government. The 23,000-square-foot cultural center and traditional longhouse is expected to open next year. The natural history preserve is also set for completion next year, and the center's endowment phase will last until 2010. For more information, call 360-716-4386.
