Snee Oosh (also spelled Snee-Oosh or Snee-oosh;) is a populated place on Fidalgo Island in the U.S. state of Washington, on the Swinomish Indian Reservation. The population was reported as 302 in 1999.
There is also a Snee Oosh Point at 48.4003°N -122.5475°W, and Snee Oosh Beach at 48.4019°N -122.5439°W.
Snee Oosh is the site of one of the main Swinomish villages occupied in historic times.[1] The name "Snee Oosh" is derived from the Lushootseed name,, which means "look the other way."[2]
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.[3]
