Chehalis Tribe breaks ground with Great Wolf


The Chehalis Tribe of Washington broke ground on a $100 million resort that will bear the Great Wolf name.

The Great Wolf Lodge is being built on 43 acres in Grand Mound. The Bureau of Indian Affairs took the land into trust in July.

The property will feature a hotel, indoor water park and convention center. The opening is expected in the first half of 2008.

The resort is expected to create 500 jobs, draw 300,000 visitors and generate $92 million a year in revenue, according to The Olympian.
