Work starts on casino that tribe may end up moving

Wednesday, May 5, 2004  

The Stillaguamish Tribe of Washington has begun construction of a $19 million casino on 20 acres of trust land.

But the tribe's executive director says the tribe is angling for a more lucrative site. Eddie Goodridge Jr. says the tribe has offered the city of Arlington a large share of casino revenues to locate a casino there.

The $19 million casino is being built in a modular style so that pieces can be sold off if the tribe finds a better location, according to The Seattle Times.
