The Point No Point Treaty Council has unilaterally issued both subsistence and commercial opening announcements for Area 5 under Para 4.6 of U.S. vs. WA which means those tribes have not yet reached a harvest agreement with the State. Another thing to note is the inclusion of red rock keeping in mind that one of the arguments for not having red rock seasons in MA 11 when Dungies were closed was that it would open it up to tribal harvest. While not the Puyallup tribe this is indicative that there is a commercial value.
