Tribal Enterprises Advancing Economic Opportunities

by David Schaffert, President/CEO, Thurston County Chamber In this month’s VOICE, we have the first article of a three-part series on the growing importance of Tribal enterprises in our region and how they position themselves for future business growth.

Medicine Creek Enterprise Corporation (MCEC) (page 9) is one of the largest employers in our area through its numerous business operations.

The diversity and strategic planning of business operations are paying off. Tribal enterprises in our region encompass a host of industry sectors, including fisheries and natural resources, gaming telecommunication, brewing and distilling, convenience stores, hospitality, and construction as a partial list. They leverage opportunities with government contracts and take on an ever-increasing role in workforce development and training.

To get a slightly larger perspective on the importance of tribal economic development efforts, a 2019 Economic and Community Benefits of Tribes in

Washington Reported notes that tribal business operations accounted for $1.5 billion in employee compensation and 55,000 jobs. Non-Indians constituted 70% of Washington Tribes’ workforces, and tribes purchased more than $3 billion in goods and services, virtually all of it (94%+) from the off-reservation economy. The combined direct, indirect, and induced effects of recurring tribal economic activity yielded more than $5.3 billion in gross state product, which produced an estimated $722 million in state and local government revenue.

These Tribal economic development contributions locally will continue to grow in the coming years. The leadership, vision, and entrepreneurial spirit of Island Enterprises, Inc Squaxin Island Tribe, Chehalis Tribal Enterprise, Confederated Tribes of the Chehalis, and Medicine Creek Enterprises Corporation, Nisqually Tribe, has provided economic opportunities for our community and will continue to be critical partners in economic development efforts.

Inspired Burgers, Frozen Custard & Regional Memorabilia ...All on the Same Block!

Tasty PNW Treats Offered by Olympia Restaurateur Couple

by Jerica Pender

Just 58 steps are all it takes to get from Cascadia Grill, a hip brasserie in downtown Olympia, to JuJu’s Iced Cream & Frozen Custard, a neo-vintage frozen treat shop. Both are owned by husband and wife team, Jef Dukes and Julie Guarino, restaurateurs who know a thing or two about great service, unique flavor profiles, and regional celebrations.

“Jef and I met working in Yellowstone National Park at The Old Faithful Inn as servers there,” Julie says. The year was 1999 and “at that point, he was living in Los Angeles and I was living in New York City, and literally, we met in the middle,” she recalls. thurstonchamber.com

And though that season at Yellowstone ended when the weather cooled, Jef and Julie’s relationship began heating up. Jef joined Julie in the east where they worked together yet again, this time it was a fine dining setting in New York City where not only the food—but the way in which it was served—was paramount.

A few more stints in Yellowstone and a few more moves and restaurants later, a determined Jef and Julie proclaimed, “OK, the next restaurant we open is going to be our own.” Fortunately, for Thurston County diners, it was not just one—but two—in Olympia.

Although Jef and Julie are transplants here, they certainly have their fingers on the pulse of what brings not just the Cascadia region—but their restaurant too—to life.

Cascadia Grill’s decor is an all-out celebration of our bioregion; from hanging the Cascadia flag and displaying Bigfoot and chainsaw art memorabilia, to showcasing over 1,000 framed photographs of Pacific Northwest notables on the restaurant’s walls. There’s even hanging art displays of freeze dried mosses that Julie creates with her brother-in-law that are so popular with patrons, Julie says they regularly try to purchase them.

All of Cascadia Grill’s recipes are created

by Jef, and the desserts are done by Julie. Not only can you get housesmoked trout, poutine with hand-cut fries, or an Olydelphia Cheesesteak sandwich, but Julie says theirs is "one of the best burgers in town.”

Jef is from southern California where perfect burgers reign supreme, and

the Cascadia Burger is “an homage to the In-N-Out burger,” a fact that they’re not embarrassed to boast about, because in their opinions, InN-Out makes the best burger.

JuJu’s has that too, in a vegan, nondairy offering that is said to be “so good, even carnivores will order it.”

In March of 2020, Jef and Julie opened JuJu’s Iced Cream and Frozen Custard five doors west of Cascadia Grill. Named after Julie’s nickname, it was also her love of frozen custard as a midwesterner that spurred her and Jef to purchase a custard machine that Julie says “costs more than my car.”

And although Cascadia Grill does a great job highlighting the timbers, mosses and character of our region, talking with Julie has proved that Thurston County restaurants are not out of the woods yet.

The Nisqually Tribe’s Remarkable Journey to Economic Sovereignty

TRIBAL ENTERPRISES

In the decades since the early 1990s, the Nisqually Indian Tribe has transformed itself into a robust economic presence, Cheebo Frazier, Chief Operations generating hundreds of regional jobs and contributing Officer, Medicine millions to local organizations through their charitable Creek Enterprise giving. By any standard, it’s an outstanding achievement.

Corporation

by Heidi Smith • Images courtesy of KMB Architects When you consider that Medicine Creek Enterprise Corporation (MCEC), the parent company of multiple Tribal businesses, includes board members whose families remember growing up on the Reservation without electricity or running water, such rapid growth is even more impressive. Today MCEC is one of the largest private employers in Thurston County. More importantly, the expansion has created opportunities for Tribal members to thrive, according to Chief Operations Officer Cheebo Frazier.

“We’re able to provide medical services, to begin building housing, thurstonchamber.com

and to offer educational services to the membership,” says Frazier. “These positive changes are remarkable in that we’re building leaders of the future while making certain we have a solid economy and workforce on the Reservation.

We’re meeting the goals the Tribe laid out in their community vision.”

Services and Nisqually Communication Services. The construction arm does projects at Joint-Base Lewis McChord (JBLM) in Pierce County and the Port of Seattle in King County, while the communications branch works to meet the growing regional demand for T-3 fiber optics.

MCEC oversees a large and growing number of operations, including the Medicine Creek Cafe, Nisqually Markets, Nisqually Post & Print and the Red Wind Casino. They also have expanded beyond Thurston County through Nisqually Construction

Within the Reservation, the recently completed Nisqually Health Center expands access to healthcare ranging from wellness checks and dental care to behavioral health and substance abuse prevention, and also provides traditional and cultural healing used by the Nisqually

people. “The Tribe is using their construction services to create a sustainable community for the future,” says MCEC Chief of Staff Jayana Marshall.

Nisqually Tribal businesses have come a long way from where they started. In the late 1980s, the Tribe had just one operation on the Reservation known as the Smoke Shop. By the early ’90s, they had added a bingo hall, which then morphed into the Red Wind Casino. Around the same period, one gas station with a convenience store opened.

“Initially, when the Tribe began running for-profit businesses, it was about creating employment for the Nisqually Indian Reservation,” says Frazier. “Now when we think about expansion, we’ve outgrown what we can do on the Reservation. We’re open to looking at what types of businesses would create an ecosystem that would be helpful for the Tribe to maintain their sovereignty and self-sufficiency.”

As an example, the Post & Print store is the result of the Tribe’s other businesses needing direct mail resources and services.

Today, the need is for storage facilities, another potential the Tribe is exploring.

In the future, the goal is to lessen dependency on gaming as a funding source. “We’re not certain how long gaming is going to be the primary revenue generator,” Frazier maintains. “The Tribe wants to have more of a workforce development presence for our local and surrounding communities and to be a good neighbor and business partner.”

Tribal leadership is also rethinking tobacco and fuel sales, according to Marshall. “They’re still performing well, but a downtrend in smokers and multiple articles predict that by the year 2035, the population of smokers is going to decrease significantly. We all see that electric cars are the new trend, so we’re strategizing what the needs will be in the future and how we can create businesses to meet those needs.”

The COVID-19 pandemic interrupted those plans, forcing a recalibration of priorities and immediate goals. Like many regional businesses, the Nisqually Tribe is dealing with supply chain issues and staffing shortages but they’re still looking ahead.

“The Tribe is working on a master planning initiative to rest ourselves and say, ‘What is our concept for the future? How prepared are we and how do we get there?’” says Frazier. “MCEC is doing the same, looking at our five-year operational plan and setting some goals to make certain we have steps laid out so we can continue this path of growth.”

A HANDS-ON APPROACH AT

Sensory Tool House

by Kathryn Millhorn • Photos by Heather Harris, Elements Photography

Globally, it’s estimated that 30 to 40% of people are neurodiverse. Though the term itself was coined in the 1990’s, it’s not a new concept. Just as no two people are the same, we don’t all interact with the world in the same way. If you or someone you love thrives with sensory or adaptive support, schedule a visit to Lacey’s Sensory Tool House. thurstonchamber.com

Harvard doctors explain that “The word neurodiversity refers to the diversity of all people, but it is often used in the context of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), as well as other neurological or developmental conditions such as ADHD or learning disabilities…Neurodiversity describes the idea that people experience and interact with the world around them in many different ways; there is no one ‘right’ way of thinking, learning, and behaving, and differences are not viewed as deficits.”

Sensory Tool House opened its doors November 12, 2021 to assist families with their neurodiverse needs. Owner Katie McMurray explains that “Our work is particularly focused on serving individuals with neurodivergent differences such as autism, ADHD, intellectual disabilities, learning disabilities, genetic disabilities, and physical disabilities.”

“We are all different; that is what makes this world an amazing place,” says McMurray. “Everyone has a

sensory system. We might not identify as a neurodivergent individual; however, we all have our unique sensory experiences. In the office there are pen clickers and leg bouncers. Some may like it silent to work, others prefer music. Food presents many sensory differences, for example some love oysters while others are turned away from the texture. Differences in our sensory systems is a human condition, not restricted to those who are neurodivergent.”

She opened Sensory Tool House to take trial-and-error out of online shopping. “The neurodivergent community, those who are disabled, and caregivers often have challenges finding items for improved quality of life,” admits McMurray. “When buying on the internet, there can be one hundred similar items for one product. A person who has anxiety, a longer thought processing time, difficulty making decisions,

and other barriers can become overwhelmed.”

This is where shopping in person makes a world of difference. Unlike a bustling box store, Sensory Tool House was thoughtfully designed and carefully decorated. “The wall colors, floor layout and lighting are all done from research in autistic architecture and sensory sensitive spaces,” says McMurray. “Florescent lighting can be painful to those who are light sensitive. These lights flash in a way many of us cannot see. That flash is overwhelming and can cause emotional and physical pain. Most commercial and school buildings have this lighting. Even the way we laid the tile lines on the floor was with purpose. These are some of the details we have to mitigate as many barriers as possible.”

Eliminating barriers is important because McMurray hopes Sensory Tool House will become a gathering place for those wanting somewhere

to meet, hold small events and parties, or just relax in a peaceful setting. “We are a retail store, but more than that, we are an inclusive community gathering space where our neurodiverse community can try before they buy and connect with others like themselves. If a weighted vest is of interest, you can wear it around the store for as long as needed to determine its benefit for you. Fidgets all feel different, and you can try them.

Sensory swings are available to test or just regulate with. Aside from retail, we have a community room where we have a variety of classes and groups for all.”

Outside of retail and community tracks, they also “contracted with DDA/DSHS and case managers have the specifics to support their clients. We created the Buddy Fund because many do not qualify for DDA support, but in this financial climate, cannot afford to purchase the tools needed. The Buddy Fund is a grant for neurodivergent and/ or disabled Washington State residents in need of help to cover the costs associated with tools or toys that may enhance their quality of life. The grant will subsidize the purchase of items up to $300.”

A teacher herself, McMurray loves working with the community to develop sensory safe spaces or find tools to help students and staff. She also works with civic groups to inform and educate.

She is “excited that the Thurston County Chamber of Commerce is taking steps to be more inclusive 16 I

I want to see businesses changing out florescent lighting to LED lights, installing adult changing tables.

Ultimately, I would like to see Thurston County become a sensory friendly community.”

Tool House staff share McMurray’s passion. All have either lived neurodivergent experience or are caregivers and allies. “Some of the employees were diagnosed at a young age, others as adults. Each one of us have experienced barriers in our community. The barriers may be different, but the frustration is often the same. Here you are honored for who you are.”

L &I SPOTLIGHT

Many Employers Are Breaking These Three Rules 1.

Did you know every business in Washington state must have a Written Accident Prevention Program?

The number one rule violation the Department of Labor & Industries encounters is that many Washington businesses have not created or trained their staff on the required written Accident Prevention Program (APP). For details visit lni.wa.gov/forms-publications/F700-125-000.pdf

2. Did you know you can’t ask applicants for their salary history in Washington state?

The Equal Pay & Opportunities Act provides privacy of wage or salary history when applying for a job. For resources visit lni.wa.gov/workers-rights/wages/equal-pay-opportunities-act/epoa-employer-resources.

3. Did you know before hiring teens under 18 you must have both a minor work permit endorsement and a completed parent/school or summer authorization form?

As the labor market tightens, many employers are turning to youth for hard to fill entry level positions. There are a few steps to take before making that hire: • Apply with Department of Revenue (DOR) for a no-cost minor work permit endorsement on your business license at dor.wa.gov/manage-business/state-endorsements/minor-work-permit • Before a minor can begin working, you must get their parent or legal guardian and their school (when in session) to complete a Parent School Authorization. For summer work only, businesses must complete the Parent Authorization for Summer Work. Links to both forms can be found at lni.wa.gov/workers-rights/youth-employment/how-to-hire-minors • You must verify the minor’s age and keep a copy of the documentation on file such as a birth certificate and social security card, driver’s license, or baptismal record for 3 years.
