The Muckleshoot Tribe of Washington is being forced to create additional parking space at its casino in response to a legal battle with a tribal family.

The tribe obtained a lease to build a parking lot on 10 acres of land owned by the King George family. But the family was never told that the tribe submitted another lease to build on 9 acres of their land.

The Bureau of Indian Affairs approved both leases. The family never gave permission for the 9-acre lease and have won a court order blocking the tribe from using the land.
