There is no shortage of casinos in the Seattle area, and its population of 3.7 million is treated to no less than 16 casinos these days, all operated by various Indian tribes in the area. Long gone are the days when one had to travel to Las Vegas to gamble at a casino, and once these casinos were built here, we got to see just how popular casino gambling really is in this major city.
When you ask about what the best casinos are in the area though, the Tulalip Resort Casino in Tulalip, just north of Everett, invariably comes up as one of the very best. This is not only a large casino, with 200,000 square feet of gambling space, it’s also a luxury resort, earning the coveted AAA four diamond award for excellence, placing it among the best casino resorts in the country.
Aug 18, 2008 Tulalip Casino in the past had been a fun place play slots, but for the past two years these same slots have gotten so tight they give almost zero payback. I don't drink or go out much and was going for something to do. They do this to also see if you are playing in the casino. If you do play you may be able to ask for a few more nights for free! Since it is a casino there are a lot of free things. Drinks, wifi, restrooms, feminine products, casino credits, water bottles, coffee, really anything you would get free at.
It is owned and operated by the Tulalip Tribes, on their large reservation here. This is not at all out of the way though and is only about a 40 minute drive from the city center, and offers people not just a place to come and gamble, but a true vacation resort experience.
This is an exceptionally beautiful property and once here, there’s no question about the Tulalip Resort Casino being one of the very best and nicest casino resorts you will ever find anywhere.
In spite of the quality of this resort being fairly well known in the area, guests are generally surprised at just how beautiful and luxurious this casino really is, and it certainly is an impressive spot to spend some time, whether it be just for the day or an enjoyable extended stay with them.
This reservation was established all the way back in 1855, and the area around them has certainly grown in leaps and bounds since, now being one of the most populous cities in the country. The reservation had been well behind the times until very recently, but this very successful casino has allowed them to really prosper and several new schools have been built recently.

The Tulalip Resort Casino isn’t just satisfied with their rave reviews and their four diamond award, as they have recently taken things up a notch further with new renovations that have added such things like in room refrigerators, new heating and cooling controls, 55 inch smart TV’s, USB power outlets, new furniture, and even no fog mirrors in the bathroom.
