The Sauk-Suiattle Tribe of Washington recently made two land purchases near the town of Darrington. Local officials wonder what's going on.
But the tribe's plans aren't definite. One possibility is an campground/RV park. A casino in the rural area is not on the list, however, says the chairman.
The tribal council will decide what to do with the land. The priorities are economic development and housing. The tribe recently built a new police station on land near Darrington.
