The Snoqualmie settled onto the Tulalip Reservation after signing the Point Elliott Treaty with the Washington Territory in 1855. At that time they were one of the largest tribes in the Puget Sound region numbering around 4000 [http://nathpo.org/News/Tribal/News-Tribal_Governments32.html] . They have tried and failed on several occasions to secure a reservation on their ancestral lands along the Tolt River (a tributary of the Snoqualmie River).

Recognition by the United States

The tribe lost federal recognition in 1953. In October 1999 the Bureau of Indian Affairs once again granted recognition to the Snoqualmie.cite web|url=http://www.goia.wa.gov/Tribal-Information/Tribes/snoqualmie.htm |title=Snoqualmie Tribe History |accessdate=7 March |accessyear= 2008 |format=website |work=Governor's Office of Indian Affairs ]
