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.
