CHIMACUM — After decades of work, the Jamestown S’Klallam tribe on the Olympic Peninsula has purchased the site of a sacred, 150-foot tall rock in Chimacum, and there’s an immediate change planned: no more rock climbing.
The tribe bought the 62 acres around Tamanowas Rock, including the rock itself, for $600,000 last month, the Peninsula Daily News reported.
