The Puyallup Tribe of Washington has signed an agreement to develop the Port of Tacoma.
The tribe will work with the Port and SSA Marine, the largest terminal operator in the U.S., to expand operations in Tacoma. The tribe is buying three parcels from the port worth a total of $11.8 million.
All three parties will work together to expand a waterway at the port, where the tribe owns land. The agreement dates back to the Puyallup Indian Land Claims Settlement Agreement of 1989, officials said in a press release.
