Tulalip Hill is an easy 1-point drive-up summit located in Snohomish County, WA. While the summit is located on private property, there is a public boat launch on the northeast corner of the lake which is within the activation zone. Thanks to Jason KV7DX (previously KE7UIU) for providing this information to myself and other activators!
A Discover Pass is required.

As of November 2019, all Tulalip Hill contacts have either been on 2M or 70cm. Due to the snow in early 2019, I stayed near the entrance and using an Elk antenna held up by a cheap light stand. My youngest son Nathan was 7 at the time, and we enjoyed spending time together for a SOTA activation.
