Washington Tribe to Reopen Casino

WASHINGTON – As reported by the Seattle Post-Intelligencer: "The Tulalip Tribes will reopen today a casino that it closed last year following the debut of its lavish $72 million Tulalip Casino near Marysville.

"The tribe has spent about $2 million to remodel the newly named Quil Ceda Creek Nightclub & Casino, which will feature about 600 slot machines and 12 game tables.

"…The tribe will share profits from the slot machines with four other tribes from whom it is leasing permits for them, said Les Parks, member of the Tulalip Tribes board of directors and project team leader on Quil Ceda Creek.

"The reopened casino will help the tribes -- Makah, Lower Elwha, Sauk-Suiattle and Hoh -- generate money for uses such as education and health benefits, he said.

"…The new casino that opens today will add 180 more jobs…"
