The Muckleshoot Tribe of Washington is drafting a proposal to relocate the Seattle Supersonics to tribal land.
Tribal leaders met with Sonics owner Clay Bennett, who is considering a move of the NBA team. Although no decisions have been made, the tribe would build a new arena in Auburn, where the tribe owns a racetrack.
The tribe bought the Emerald Downs track in 2002. The 185-acre is not yet in trust but the tribe has submitted an application to the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
