-=== History  ===
-A special agency was established in western Washington on 1 December 1856. By 1861 it became a distinct agency with responsibility for the Indians on the [[Puyallup Indian Reservation (Washington)|Puyallup Reservation]], the [[Nisqually Indian Reservation (Washington)|Nisqually Reservation]], and the Squaxin Reservation, and sometimes the Chehalis Reservation. It was sometimes called the [[Nisqually Indian Agency (Washington)|Nisqually Agency]].
-The agency was originally located on the [[Squaxin Island Indian Reservation (Washington)|Squaxin Reservation]] on Squaxin Island, and was then moved to Olympia. During the years 1865-1869, one agent was assigned to both the Puyallup Agency and the [[Tulalip Indian Agency (Washington)|Tulalip Agency]].
-In 1874, the agency, then located at Olympia, had responsibility for the Puyallup, Nisqually, Squaxin, Muckleshoot, Shoalwater Bay, and Chehalis Reservations. In 1882, it was consolidated with the [[Skokomish Indian Agency (Washington)|Skokomish Agency]], the Tulalip Agency, and the [[Quinaielt Indian Agency (Washington)|Quinaielt Agency]], but the Tulalip Agency became an independent agency shortly after the consolidation<ref>Hill, Edward E. ''The Office of Indian Affairs, 1824-1880: Historical Sketches''. New York, New York: Clearwater Publishing Company, Inc., 1974, p. 195.</ref>.
-In 1895, the Puyallup School in Tacoma was given the agent duties for the reservations. In 1910, the school's name was changed to the [[Cushman Indian School (Washington)|Cushman School]] and the agency also came to bear that name. In 1914, a separate agency, called the Taholah Agency, was established for the Quinaielt Indians.
-The Cushman School was closed in 1920 and the Agency was abolished. The Muckleshot and Clallam Indians were transferred to the Tulalip Agency and the other Indians under the [[Cushman Indian Agency (Washington)|Cushman Agency were]] assigned to the Tahomah Agency<ref>Hill, Edward E.
