Campbell Global -- Snoqualmie Tribe Purchase?

[logola512c]

Does anyone know anything about the Snoqualmie tribe buying a chunk of the Campbell Global tree farm north of North Bend outside Seattle?  Heard they bought about 20 square miles of it but can't find any details.  And the sqrecreation website has some weird security issues preventing me from accessing it.  It's not the best place to hunt, or even an average one, but it's the closest piece of property to seattle that isn't crawling with hikers.

I'm assuming we're not going to be allowed to access this portion anymore? This sucks

I'm assuming that as long as the casino money keeps flowing this will be an on-going thing. Tribes will eventually own most of the large tracts of private timberland in the state.

I can see this becoming a bigger issue as time goes on.  Just imagine something like Weyco selling the Vail tree farm to the Nisqually tribe and converting it over to reservation 

Never understood how that is legal, it would be like China buying a parcel of land here. and having it become sovereign Chinese soil.

If you have Native dollars where would you invest it?  What better place than buy neighboring timberland and sell hunting access permits ( like weyco).   No one will buy the permits if the hunting is lousy so hopefully they manage it for permit dollars vs jerky production.

I say good for them especially if it was originally supposed to be part of their reservation. They probably think it sucks they had to buy it back.

JP Morgan buying the whole thing is a much bigger concern than the tribe buying the NE corner. https://www.jpmorganchase.com/news-stories/jpmorgan-asset-management-acquires-campbell-global

Probably didnt hurt to bad buying it back with others money from a business only they can run.

It was a pretty good place to hunt up until about 10-15 years ago. Now even the rabbit and grouse hunting is poor.

Sad, for many of those of us "older" guys who grew up in King County this was the local hunting hot spot. I know quite a few guys who get permits just so they can still hunt and fish in the same place they did with their dad 50 or more years ago.

I agree.  I don't begrudge them at all.  They're just buying what was basically given to the timber companies for free way back in the day and that they're now selling for a fortune.

The 12,000 acres they bought is the tolt river watershed.
