 Project aims to save low-income housing in Tacoma's Salishan
But the Salishan residential development remained and has become a defining chunk of this city's Eastside -- a place that, today, is among the most ethnically diverse neighborhoods in the region.
Salishan also has become a tightknit neighborhood with a strong sense of community, say its residents.
Some Salishan residents fear that affordable units will be lost and that market-rate homes -- which will be built among the new low-income units -- will not be spread throughout the neighborhood.

 Nature & Conservation
The Salishan Family Garden was established 11 years ago when staff at Lister Elementary School sought a means to reach out to the parents of their Cambodian students, some new arrivals from refugee camps in SE Asia.
The Salishan Family Garden has evolved into a vibrant setting where community is authentically grown, in addition to the vegetables, herbs and flowers that feed the body and spirit of the predominately low-income gardeners and their families.
This season the Salishan Family Garden became a self-managed garden with support from a newly formed group, Friends of the Salishan Family Garden, when Tahoma Food System dropped the program in May due to budget constraints and program direction changes.

 Salishan
Salishan is a Hope VI project in Tacoma that will use a number of New Urban tools to replace run-down public housing with a 1270-unit neighborhood that will include a number of community buildings, parks, alley-loaded homes, and a pedestrian-oriented street network.
But unfortunately, what could have been a line of stately duplexes facing the roadway is interrupted every 200 feet by an alley and rear parking lot that is not nearly as attractive.
The planning for the homes and community facilities at Salishan involved hundreds of meetings with residents and community organizations since the Hope VI grant was announced in July 2000.

 languagehat.com: ANYONE FOR SALISHAN?
I'm trying to find out which Salishan languages, if any, still have a reasonably healthy speaking community (e.g., spoken in most households in at least one place and has at least some speakers under the age of 10.) Ethnologue suggests that the answer is none.
Some of them have relatively large numbers of speakers, which seem healthy in comparison to the handful of speakers of most of the US languages, but even so these speakers are a small fraction of the population and restricted to older people.
This may or may not be tied into debate about the genesis of pidgins, with one school of thought claiming there was a single source (monogenesis) and one arguing that pidgins arose separately (polygenesis) (a second battle is over substrate, superstrate, or bio-program, a glossary to figure out the terminology is here)

 Newport News-Times: Salishan Spa could set trend
But Don Richardson, manager of the Salishan Spa, can't wait for more spas to open in Lincoln County and in fact all up and down the Oregon coast.

Richardson believes Salishan owner Dave Connors will someday be heralded as the man who started the coast as a spa destination.
