Three Washington lawmakers propose a bill to transfer ownership of Clear Creek Hatchery from U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to Nisqually Indian Tribe, aiming to fix a long-standing issue where federal ownership blocks the tribe from accessing grants for maintenance and operations. The move is seen as a key step for salmon recovery, upholding treaty rights, and boosting the tribes fisheries program. The facility produces millions of salmon smolts yearly, easing pressure on endangered Chinook stocks and supporting fishing in South Puget Sound. The process is expected to move fast once the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service provides the needed approval documents.
