In late June, Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe’s leaders plan to connect the new hotel and its other businesses to the City of Sequim’s sewer system after decades of discussions. The connection became finalized after city officials sought a portion of an approximate $159,000 late fee the tribe owes for being late to connect. Tribal officials paid $50,000 the same day they were requested to pay an upfront cost to connect. Sequim Gazette photo by Matthew Nash
