The small Snoqualimie tribe was once one of the poorest in the Pacific Northwest when the idea of the casino first originated.

It’s operated by the Snoqualmie Tribes, who call themselves the “People of the Moon,” based on their creation story. Snoqualmie Casino and Resort is, like many gaming venues throughout the United States, a Native American business venture. In fact, a visit to Snoqualmie Casino Washington gives you access to some of the best attractions in the Pacific Northwest. You can visit wineries and outlet stores, and go golfing or kayaking. There are ski resorts to discover in the winter months and hiking trails to explore in the summer. There are also many very nice motels, country lodges, bed and breakfast inns, and even mountain cabin rentals available. The nearby Salish Lodge is a luxurious haven to relax after sampling the Snoqualmie Casino excitement. My experience is that Smokers really don’t mind smoking outside and most will understand especially since we are still battling Covid and flu season and people want to stay healthy.There’s also a wide variety of lodging choices in the area. They really need to out the well being of their players first. I’ve never felt this bad after leaving a casino. I actually came home and was sick for 2 days with a fever and headache. And if you are sensitive to smoke, stay away. It’s a beautiful scenery and the food is decent but don’t expect a Vegas vibe or even to win. I understand the casino odds and the house wins most of the time but I never been to a casino where I couldn’t even catch a break especially on the slots.

Then the pit boss came and said “time to switch cars” and my luck went down hill after that. When I went to play cards, I actually sat down and did very well on the first three hands.

Put $3k in a machine playing $5 to $10 bets and had just a few small wins ($25, etc) and two bonus rounds that didn’t pay anything. I left with congestion in my chest and a headache. It just seems like to me in a tine of Covid they would care more about the overall well being of their players and ban smoking inside (people are blowing germs from their lungs into the air), and it makes it so so hard to breathe. The non smoking playing room is tiny with maybe 25 machines or so. I immediately asked security if they had masks on hand and he said “they ran out.” But there’s no escaping the smoke which makes it unpleasant. First when I arrived, the second hand smoke overwhelmed my lungs.
