Squaxin Tribe Authorized to Operate Class III Gaming
If you are a member of the Squaxin Island Tribe or run tribal businesses, the Seventh Amendment to the Tribal‑State Compact lets the Tribe operate class III gaming on its Indian lands in Washington starting September 29, 2026. The Secretary of the Interior took no action within the 45‑day review period, so the Compact is considered approved by operation of law, but only to the extent it is consistent with the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA).
