The new Quil Ceda Creek Casino’s footprint will reportedly cover 15 acres and will be constructed on land currently occupied by the Tulalip Court and police department as well as the now closed, Arby’s, at 6103 31st Ave. And while the majority of the Quil Ceda Creek Casino’s customer base is of the local variety many of the Tulalip Resort Casino’s customers are regional and come from the West, like Vancouver, B.C. The larger of the two casinos, the Tulalip Resort Casino was built in 2004 and is located just three miles north of the Quil Ceda Creek Casino. Zackuse reportedly sees the new casino as a complement to the Tulalip Resort Casino, which the Tribes also owns and operates. While the new casino will, for the most part, keep its “locals” flavor, it will include some upgrades, such as a larger gaming floor reasonably priced, top-end food options in a food court setting new entertainment options a state-of-the-art smoke filtration system and a 1,200-stall garage. It will be more entertainment and more food venues, but keeping that feel for the locals.” She told the newspaper, “We’re going to keep it as the locals’ casino and cater to what they like. Marie Zackuse, Chairwoman of the Tulalip Tribes Board of Directors, said it’s time for a new casino.

The new gambling venue, dubbed ‘ QCC2’, for now, will reportedly be located directly across the street from the existing casino. If things go according to plan, construction will begin on the new 110,000-square-foot facility before the end of 2017, with completion expected either towards the end of 2018 or in early 2019, according to The Everett Herald. Originally called, Tulalip Casino, the Quil Ceda Creek Casino opened 25 years ago and will be torn down once the new casino is completed. In Washington, later this year, the Tulalip Tribes will reportedly break ground on a $100 million replacement for the existing Quil Ceda Creek Casino in Snohomish County.
