Tulalip Tribes new outlet mall draws a lot of traffic


Consumers are flocking to the Tulalip Tribes' new outlet mall but they are also contributing to traffic headaches along a major interstate highway in Washington.

The Seattle Premium Outlets opened earlier this month, just days after the state removed an overpass as part of a construction project. That meant commuters had fewer options to get to and from the mall -- or around it, as the case may be.

The tribe contributed $5 million to the construction project, which will be completed by the end of the year. The tribe is also willing to pay some of the costs for another project.
