It takes educated people to fill the nation’s many technical jobs. Nearly 700 people are employed by QIN and its enterprises, making it one of the largest employers in Grays Harbor County. The Land The Quinault Indian Reservation is a land of mag- nificent forests, swift-flowing rivers, gleaming lakes and 23 miles (37 kilometers) of unspoiled Pacific coastline. Its boundaries encompass over 208,150 acres (84,271 hectares) of some of the most produc- tive conifer forest lands in the United States. Located on the southwestern corner of the Olym- pic Peninsula, its rain-drenched lands embrace an throughout the year.

As a wet, mild climate began to evolve 12,000 years ago, the glaciers withdrew to the high- er peaks of the Olympic Mountains. These condi- tions have produced a land with enormous forest and aggregate resources. Markets for Aggregate Products The Quinault Indian Reservation is located on the west coast of the Olympic Peninsula, west of the city of Seattle, Washington, as shown in Figure 1.

In the Far East, the existence of expanding popula- tions and economies is well known. The demand for commercial aggregate is high in Japan, China, Korea, and Taiwan, in particular. This suggests that high-demand aggregate products could be shipped to those countries in dedicated bulk carriers, or per- haps as back-haul loads in other types of vessels. It is also worth noting that many Pacific Islands lack good construction aggregate, primarily because they are of volcanic or coral-atoll origin. Such ar- eas could represent potential markets for Quinault Figure 2 : Corwin Pit aggregate resources.

They provide services including 14 health care, education, housing, public safety, courts, 10 transportation, natural resources, environment, culture 23 and economic development. Gaming revenue is a major source of funding to pay for tribal government services. 11 Tribes are investing in new initiatives to diversify their economic base. Investments range from hotels to golf 1 courses to shopping centers. 19 Tribes employ more than 30,000 people statewide and pay more than $1.5 billion annually in wages and benefits. Capital spending, and the purchase of goods and services from private companies, adds billions more dollars to the state’s economy each year. Tribal economic activities also generate millions of dollars in federal, state and local taxes. 29 Washingtontribes.org is a public education program of the Washington Indian Gaming Association. washingtontribes.org 3 1.
