New Quil Ceda Creek Casino to spotlight exciting new casual dining concepts and environmental focus with 'green kitchen'
August 26, 2020
The new Quil Ceda Creek Casino is scheduled to open early next year.
A major commitment to food excellence and state-of-the-industry 'green kitchen' operations are among the attractions coming to the new Quil Ceda Creek Casino, slated to open in early 2021. The centerpieces for the enhanced culinary focus include 'The Kitchen,' offering guests casual dining with an array of made-to-order menu choices and 'The Landing,' an exciting a la carte dining experience. Menu items will spotlight fresh, local ingredients from Northwest suppliers and prepared with the latest 'green cooking' techniques.
'The unveiling of 'The Kitchen,' 'The Landing' and other new food and beverage venues will support our goal of providing guests with a total gaming, dining and entertainment experience,' said Belinda Hegnes, Interim Executive VP of Quil Ceda Creek Casino. 'Healthier, safer and environmentally conscious technology literally transforms the way recipes are developed and prepared. And by embracing the 'green kitchen' concept, we are aligning our operations with the Tulalip Tribes' commitment to the environment.'
More than doubling the size of the current casino located across the street, the impressive new 'Q' will span over 120,000 square feet and will include 1,500 gaming machines (an increase of 500 machines), additional table games, an expanded entertainment lounge and a multi-story parking garage. The new Quil Ceda Creek Casino is located on 15 acres of Tulalip Tribal land directly off I-5 at exit 199.
In addition to the greatly enhanced restaurant operations, guests will have multiple choices at three bars for craft cocktails, regional beers, Northwest wines and appetizers.
Far from an afterthought, planning for the new dining concepts and kitchen operations have been underway for more than two years.
'The Kitchen' spotlights a new food hall dining experience where guests may visit one or multiple stations and choose from a variety of made-to-order menu items. Selections are recorded on a single card as they go, and guests pay one bill for all orders when they are finished, as opposed to 'food court' experiences at most other casinos where patrons pay at each and every station or restaurant they visit.
Guests at 'The Kitchen' can expect a tasty lineup of choices including freshly-prepared pizza and pasta, roasted prime rib, hand carved meats for sandwiches, tossed salads made on the spot, breakfast served 24/7, plus a few surprises: fresh gelatos, 'chocolate lasagna' and a vertical cone of chocolate for serving up hand-shaved additions to desserts!
There's good reason for the growing excitement behind the food hall concept.
'With all the preparation activity taking place in front of guests, it's a stimulating scene that adds to the interest and anticipation of the meal,' said Hegnes. 'It's a feast for the senses.'
To prepare food efficiently in a high-output kitchen – without sacrificing flavor and character – the new Q culinary team introduces windspeed ovens and other innovations to the food preparation. It's a no-fry, greaseless kitchen with no vents, and the integration of new kitchen technologies will greatly reduce waste output and energy consumption. Even to-go containers will have a short 'life' of 90 days and will be compostable.
'From the front door to the back door and beyond, the restaurants at the new Quil Ceda Creek Casino will be the 'greenest' in the Northwest when they open. It's a tribute to forward-thinking by the Tulalip Tribes,' said Hegnes.
The current Quil Ceda Creek Casino facility will remain fully operational until the new casino opens to the public in early 2021. More information on the new Quil Ceda Creek Casino and a livestream look at construction can be found at quilcedacreekcasino.com/NewQCCCasino.
EVERETT — Murder charges have been filed against a man accused of fatally beating a woman outside the Tulalip Resort Casino.

Prosecutors have charged Nomeneta Tauave of Spanaway with domestic violence murder in the death of 35-year-old Hana Letoi of Tacoma, The Herald reported.
His bail remains at $1 million, according to a court order filed last week. Charges say the couple got into a screaming fight in the casino Oct. 23 and once they got into a vehicle in the parking lot a security officer saw Tauave grab the woman and shake her before she fell out the door.
The charges say she lost consciousness and died at a local hospital on Oct. 25.
Snohomish County Medical Examiner Dr. J. Matthew Lacy determined the cause of death was a lack of oxygen and blood flow to the brain “due to resuscitated cardiac dysrhythmia due to hypertensive cardiovascular disease in the setting of acute emotional stress following a physical altercation.”
According to the charges, Lacy found the cardiac arrest was a result of the emotional distress caused by Tauave’s actions. Prior heart disease and the presence of methamphetamine in Letoi’s blood put her at high risk of “sudden cardiac events,” the charges say.
Police found Tauave in Lakewood the next day with a recently-shaved beard, and the vehicle — with its license plate removed — was discovered days later at a home in Yelm.
In an interview with Snohomish County detectives, Tauave said Letoi began to “fuss” in the casino, and the “fuss” continued when they got into the Yukon, according to the charges.
He told police she hit him, then acknowledged he may have scratched her neck as he fended her off.

“He did not want her to leave the vehicle so as she tried to get out the passenger side door, he grabbed her hand and arm to keep her in the vehicle,” the charges say, in Tauave’s version of events.
