==History==

Brier is located in the traditional territory of several [[Coast Salish]] peoples, including the [[Sammamish people|Sammamish]], [[Snohomish people|Snohomish]], and [[Suquamish]]. The area around modern-day Swamp Creek was known as ''dxʷɬ(ə)q̓ ab'', meaning "other side of something" and "a wide place", in the [[Lushootseed]] language.<ref name="Book2020">{{cite book |year=2020 |title=Brier: We Haven't Changed...Much |page=4 |url=http://www.ci.brier.wa.us/community/pdf/brierhistory.pdf |publisher=City of Brier |accessdate=January 7, 2024}}</ref>

The first European-descendant settlers in the Brier area, the Salty family, arrived from [[Finland]] in 1883 and constructed a cabin to establish a [[Homestead Act]] claim. They were followed by loggers who cleared land that had already been sold to the founders of the [[Puget Mill Company]]. The first area school was built on land donated by the Salty family in September 1896 and later replaced with the Cedar Valley School in 1911.<ref name="Book2020"/>{{rp|6–7}} By 1915, much of the forestland around modern-day Brier was cleared.<ref name="PI-1999">{{cite news |last=Slivka |first=Judd |date=June 12, 1999 |title=Here, it's all play and no work |page=D1 |work=[[Seattle Post-Intelligencer]]}}</ref>
