The Port Gamble S'Klallam Tribe of Washington has seen its assets more than double in the last five years.
The tribe's cash, capital and investments totaled $49 million as of 2005. In 2001, the tribe's assets were $21 million.
The growth is due to the tribe's casino and the addition of new services like an elders' center, a community services building, a high-speed Internet and a library. The tribe is now one of the largest employers in North Kitsap.
