This proposal was reviewed by the Park Board, which recommended approval. The Historical Commission received a letter from the Tulalip Tribes supporting the naming but recommending the name "Hibulb Lookout" which is more consistent with the Snohomish Tribe's use of the bluff.. The Historical Commission held a public hearing on 10/28/14, and recommended City Council name the bluff "Hibulb Lookout." RECOMMENDATION (Exact action requested of Council): Approve a resolution naming the bluff northwest of American Legion Memorial Park "Hibulb Lookout." 1
