Tulalip Tribes chairwoman Marie Zackuse sees it complementing Tulalip Resort Casino, which sits about three miles north and draws visitors from all over the West.
“It’s time for a new one,” Zackuse said. “We’re going to keep it as the locals’ casino and cater to what they like. It will be more entertainment and more food venues, but keeping that feel for the locals.”
By comparison, QCC2 will be only a little less than two-thirds the size of the 192,000-square-foot Tulalip Resort Casino in Washington.
