No doubt some of the tribal fishing operations are not "lucrative" -- but I would say most are. Particulary the shellfish operations. Hundreds of millions of dollars are realized from tribal geoduck, crab & shrimp fishing.

And hundreds of millions of additional dollars could potentially be in the state's coffers if all gambling operations were properly taxed.

While casino jobs are available to ALL tribal members (for tribes that have a casino) many if not most choose not to work....
