Tribal Organization: Puyallup Tribe of Indians

You can’t drive on I-5 in Tacoma and not spot it: a giant new landmark that will house one of the biggest casinos in the state. The Puyallup Tribe’s new Emerald Queen Casino is already being called the Las Vegas of the Puget Sound, and it hasn't even opened yet. Jul 15, 2009 Emerald Queen Casino I-5 is a Native American Casino in Tacoma, Washington and is open daily 24 hours. The casino's 50,000 square foot gaming space features 1,633 gaming machines and fifty-six table games. The property has five restaurants. We hit five casinos Tulalip, Quil Ceda, Snoqualmie, Muckleshoot, and the Emerald Queen Casino over a period of one week. Over all we were treated like valued guests at all but the EQC. The EQC is a shame to all the efforts and struggles of the Puyallup Peoples that paid the price for this tasteless place to exist today.

The Puyallup Tribe will replace the existing Emerald Queen Casino I-5 with a new $370 million casino now under construction. The grand opening will be in February 2020.

The new casino hotel will total 310,000 square feet with a 110,000-square-foot gaming floor, a 21,000-square-foot event center with 2,000 seats and a 200-room hotel with spa and conference rooms.

Existing Emerald Queen Casino

Emerald Queen Casino has two locations: The Emerald Queen Hotel & Casino in Fife and this casino the Emerald Queen Casino I-5 in Tacoma.

The original Emerald Queen Casino was a Mississippi riverboat casino that was purchased by the Puyallup Tribe in 1996 and brought to the port of Tacoma.

In 2002 the tribe built a bingo hall at the present location of the Emerald Queen Casino. It opened on July 13, 2002. In time the facility was converted to a casino and expanded with the addition of three tents.

The riverboat casino was shut down in 2004 after the tribe purchased a hotel in Fife and converted it into the present day casino and hotel.

Emerald Queen $370 million replacement casino will open February 2020

July 24, 2018

Plans to develop a permanent building to replace the current structure for the Emerald Queen Casino are moving forward. The casino is located in Tacoma and owned by the Puyallup Tribe.

A study session was held by the Tacoma City Council where an update on the facility was given.

The new larger building will cost $310 million to complete. It is expected to be open by December of next year.

Located on East 29th Street, there will be a raised buffet and bar that will straddle the street. Other dining options will include a deli, a cafe that will be open 24 hours, and a sports bar.

The casino will be 310,000 square feet. An event center will be 21,000 square feet and be able to accommodate 2,000 seats for guests.

In the 1990's the tribe started their gaming industry. During this time period, it was not a financial possibility for them to build a large scale casino. They purchased a showboat and sailed it along the West Coast to it's new location on the Blair Waterway in a section owned by the tribe. Until 2004 this was the Emerald Queen Casino.

When the Blair Waterway under went an expansion project the showboat casino was closed. A Best Western Hotel in Fife was then converted into the next location for the casino.

The Tacoma location was previously used as a bingo hall. Several new tent structures were added to expand the bingo facility into a casino. This is the current location of the
