County wants to be consulted on Nooksack Tribe casino

Wednesday, June 7, 2006  

The Whatcom County Council voted Tuesday to ask the Nooksack Tribe to consult with the county about a proposed casino.

Debate lasted more than an hour on the resolution, The Bellingham Herald reported. At least one council member said the measure was unnecessary and would only create a climate of "fear."

The tribe plans the 35,800-square-foot Northwood Crossing Casino on 20 acres. The land was taken into trust in 1984.
