Welcome to Samish Island!
“No Island Like Samish Island”
The Samish Island Community Center’s (SICC) mission is to encourage community development and interaction through educational and social activities among islanders. To that end, it also maintains the community center property as the primary place to gather.
We acknowledge that Samish Island is within the aboriginal territory of the Samish Indian Nation. They were and are respected for their spiritual, cultural, and traditional values and practices, such as weaving, carving, and building of longhouses. The Samish People lived here in stewardship of the lands and waterways of the Salish Sea since time immemorial. https://www.samishtribe.nsn.us/

SICC Annual Concert Series
SICC is proud to host a series of three concerts in March, April, and May at the community center. Purchase a seat for all three concerts for $70, or individual-show seats for $30. Purchase your tickets HERE.
3/8 Pearl Django is a jazz group established in 1994 in Tacoma and melds the music of Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli with American Swing. They play traditional jazz classics and original compositions and are among the most highly regarded gypsy jazz groups working today.
4/19 Gallowglass is an acoustic Irish band that interprets traditional and contemporary Celtic folk music, with a focus on vocal harmonies, unique instrumentation, and compelling arrangements. They’ll bring the Community center alive with centuries-old, richly emotive music.
5/3 Corazones de Cedro brings the centuries-old vibrant musical tradition of Son Jarocho—blending Indigenous, Spanish, and West African roots—from the Gulf Coast of Mexico to WA with performances that are rhythmically sophisticated and completely engaging.
SICC Fun Stuff!
The SICC FUN STUFF Committee has scheduled an SICC-sponsored activity every month, generally on the 3rd Sunday from 5-7ish pm. The goal is to host a community gathering on a predictable schedule, so you can save the 3rd Sunday on your calendar if you’re interested in joining us! Many are a combination of food/potluck and an activity, but you can also come for just the program/activity.
Sunday, February 15, come to the Community Center at 5 pm for a combination Game Night with Finger Food. If this sounds like fun to you and your family, please join us! Since this is hopefully the first of many Game Nights, we’ll play it a little loose. Please bring any specific game you are hoping to find fellow players for (Board Games like Chess, Stratego, Settlers of Catan, Wingspan, etc.) or cards (for Hand & Foot, Bridge, Poker, 5 Crowns, Magic, etc.). If you’re into Role-Playing Games or Video Games, join us, and we can help you find a group to play with and continue playing on your own schedule.
As for the Finger Food, please bring healthy (or not) foods to share with other gamers, if you’d like. Foods that can be eaten without silverware while playing a game, and not totally gross out the game cards/pieces, are best! We will provide plates, napkins, decaf coffee & water. Bring any other preferred beverages.
If this sounds great, but you can’t come on Sunday, February 15, please let us know your thoughts, and we’ll keep you informed of future options. We especially hope to engage ALL generations and help form groups that can continue to play whatever they want, whenever they want!
