Commissioners in Kitsap County, Washington, agreed on Monday not to challenge the Bureau of Indian Affairs' decision to allow gaming on land held in trust for the Suquamish Tribe.

The commission heard debate on both sides of the issue. But after an executive session that apparently went into the night, the commissioners said they had no basis to appeal.

On January 18, the BIA published a notice in the Federal Register to allow gaming on 12.72 acres held for the Suquamish Tribe. The decision came after more than two years of review.
