Tulalips want university on reservation
TULALIP -- Tribal leaders are hoping state officials will consider the Tulalip Indian Reservation as a prime spot in the northern Puget Sound area for a public four-year university.
"We're willing to strike a good deal with the state if they build a four-year university in Tulalip," said state Rep. John McCoy, D-Tulalip.
McCoy is a tribal member and manager of Quil Ceda Village, the tribe's 2,000-acre commercial center and home to the Seattle Premium Outlets and the Tulalip Casino.
He did not offer details of the deal the tribe is developing.
McCoy did say the tribe has identified three sites within the reservation as possible locations for a university.
Two of the three are within Quil Ceda Village.
In 2004, a Snohomish County committee on economic development suggested that a four-year university would bolster the county's economy.
The Evergreen State College in Olympia, which opened in 1967, is the last public four-year school to open in the state since Western Washington University in 1899.
