Tribe Plans to Build a Resort Near Casino

WASHINGTON -- As reported by Skagit Valley Herald: "Swinomish leaders have big plans for the northern end of the tribe's reservation east of Anacortes — a new resort with its own marina, condominiums with views of Padilla Bay and an indoor water park for the kids.

"Although many details of the complex have yet to be decided, the Swinomish leadership has agreed to some key features of the project and hopes to begin construction as soon as possible, said Marty Loesch, a tribal attorney and spokesman. If all goes as planned, the resort, expected to cost between $10 million and $15 million depending on its final form, should be completed by mid-2006.

"A hotel and condominium tower will provide lodging at the complex, which will be located to the east of the tribe's Northern Lights Casino. Plans also call for an indoor water park with several slides and a 36-slip marina.

"The complex, which is tentatively called Swinomish Lights Resort, is one of three Washington resorts currently being built by Plan B Development LLC..."
