Snee Oosh is the site of one of the main Swinomish villages occupied in historic times. The name "Snee Oosh" is derived from the Lushootseed name, sdiʔus, which means "look the other way."
Kukutali Preserve
The Kukutali Preserve, an extension of Deception Pass State Park jointly administered by the Swinomish and Washington State Parks in a unique arrangement, is adjacent to Snee Oosh, and occupies the entirety of Flagstaff Island and Kiket Island. It is the first state–tribal co-managed park in the United States. Kiket Island was once the planned site of a nuclear power plant.
