Er... Reading this again, this isn't even these entities buying these lands? It's a giveaway, and our legislature via our tax dollars will pay to make the DNR whole?  So taxpayers are paying to give away public lands with no assurances of future public use available? How on Earth would that make any sense?
Exactly

This IS Washington! Remember when you vote!
Don't we hand over enough money at their casinos yet?

The land in the Beckler drainage was originally weyco who then sold it to Campbell aka Skykomish resources. They in turn logged it and replanted it. Then it came up for sale and the Tulalips bought it up. Part of it burned in the Bolt cr fire. To say it was DNR land is not right. It is DNR monitored land as far as any forest practices/fire fighting but it was not DNR land as far as ownership.
The part that I don't agree with is they put up a gate on a forest service road because the tribe and Skykomish resources doesn't want people driving in it. Even though the land borders USFS land which is wilderness area(wild sky). I contend it should be opened to public access because the road is an avenue to public land. Believe me I have went around with the forest service and got my area representive involved.
You're talking about different land. Look at OnX and the Beckler Road there's only one DNR parcel on it just south of the King County line, that's what they're proposing to get rid of. It's also in the presentation link in the original post. DNR can only transfer lands they actually own.

You're talking about land the Tulalips have already purchased.

Do we have any say in the matter?
Only thru the legislature. They have to approve the transfer and the required funding to backfill the $ behind the replacement purchases.

I was looking at the county assessor web page a couple months ago and notice the tribe has ownership of some property just upriver from where the Methow dumps in.
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

There’s a “tribal”cemetery there just out of Pateros(across river) on the left going up the hiway.
