maybe its because they formed a partnership with the Mohegan Tribe (thats in Connecticut)... why is a tribe from Connecticut building or helping build casinos in Washington State?


The $510 million casino resort project is more than a decade in the making after the Cowlitz Tribe formed a partnership with the Mohegan Tribe.

The facility will be 368,000 square feet. Construction workers tell KOIN 6 the casino level is going to be about 275,000 square feet, and will feature 15 different bar, restaurant, retail and entertainment establishments. There will also be an event center designed to seat 2,500 people.

“We’re not targeting just gamers with this facility,” said project General Manager Kara Fox-LaRose. “We really will be unique within the gaming market in Washington.”
