The chairman of the Nisqually Indian Tribe, Willie Frank III, knows what it’s like to need help. “I myself, I’m in recovery,” said Frank, who in 2014 was arrested for attempted bank robbery and theft. Speaking at the future site of the tribe’s medically-assisted treatment facility in Olympia, Frank said his past experiences with drugs, motivated him to help get the facility project started. ”Everything does happen for a reason," said Frank. The tribe is paying for about half of the 22,000-square-foot facility, set to open in January of 2025. State and federal funds are paying for the rest, said a Nisqually spokesperson.
