Tulalip Resort Casino expansion to open in July

Tulalip Resort Casino will unveil the first phase of its ambitious expansion this July, adding 70,250 square feet to its gaming footprint. Since breaking ground in January 2024, the property has been preparing for a dramatic transformation that will boost its overall gaming area to 270,250 square feet and introduce more than 400 new slot machines alongside enlarged table-game sections.

Central to the new wing is the “North Bar,” a full-service lounge that opens onto a landscaped outdoor plaza complete with heated seating and a covered smoking area. Guests will also notice two striking new entry points—one facing the Tulalip Amphitheatre and Premium Outlets, and the other adjacent to the DraftKings Sportsbook—designed to streamline foot traffic and enhance the resort’s street-front presence.

Once doors open this summer, construction crews will immediately shift focus inward. Over the coming months, nearly every interior surface will be refreshed: carpets, furnishings, wall treatments and lighting will all be replaced to reflect the Tulalip Tribes’ rich heritage and the coastal beauty of Puget Sound. Tribal art motifs, natural wood accents and ocean-inspired color schemes will guide the design, creating a cohesive blend of luxury and local culture.

The expansion also includes upgraded amenities such as additional restrooms, a reimagined high-limit slot area and expanded back-of-house facilities to support increased guest capacity. Earlier this year, the resort revitalized its Hi-Limit Slots room and gave its Blackfish Wild Salmon Grill and Journeys East eateries contemporary redesigns, setting the stage for this next chapter.

“When we embarked on this project, our goal was to honor our people’s traditions while elevating the guest experience,” said Marci Fryberg, President and COO of Tulalip Gaming Organization. “With phase one opening in July and phase two to follow, we’re bringing the Salish Sea’s spirit and our cultural heritage to life in a way our members and visitors will appreciate for years to come.”
