Campbell Global -- Snoqualmie Tribe Purchase?

[bigtex]

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

No its not. It's the land directly north of the watershed. The watershed is still owned by the City of Seattle.

I have mixed feeling on this issue. However, I'd rather see the Indians own it than some Greenie group. At least the Indians understand consumptive use of wildlife.

It's the "watershed" just like the Kent Valley is in the Green River "watershed". The actual "Tolt River Watershed" that is owned by the City of Seattle is still owned by the city and is closed to public access.

It's not closed to the natives for hunting, logging and such.  Not a rant, just saying.

Right or wrong all that ground just fell off the tax rolls, no timber tax either, pretty significant hit when you add it all up, therefore it will be made up by everyone else.

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.

Agreed. It was promised to them 90 years ago and never given. Good on them getting it back.

Campbell Global just sold another 9,000 acres directly west of the 12,000 it sold a couple years ago. Last day to access is October 10th. I'm assuming the Snoqualmie Tribe bought this as well? Anyone have anymore info? Doesn't seem like they're going to stop buying land anytime soon and I've heard they're trying to buy the Marckworth State Forest from the DNR via a Trust Land Transfer. The Marckworth is connected to this newest piece that was purchased. I wonder if they'll ever allow non-tribal members to access these lands and hunt them again? I grew up hunting out there so it's pretty sad to see.

Tulalip bought it

Tulalip bought it

Source? Not saying I dont believe you but would like to learn more. I wonder if that will piss the Snoqualmies off.
