W E L C O M E - Tulalip Resort Casino

(welcome)
Welcome to Tulalip
It may be the awe-inspiring 25-foot house posts —hand-carved from a 1,000-year-old red
cedar—that greet you upon arrival. Or seeing world-class entertainment under the stars. Perhaps it
will be guest rooms so spacious they defy expectation. Or having brand name designer outlets a short
stroll away. It could be the spa serenity or casino excitement, 24-hour fitness center or indoor Oasis
pool. Or maybe it will be the award-winning dining, bridal amenities, meeting facilities or any one
of hundreds of other incredible experiences. But make no mistake. Tulalip Resort will cause one
word to reside on your lips countless times during your stay: Wow!
Tulalip Hospitality Our approach to hospitality can be summed up by a simple gesture: We raise
our hands to you. It’s the traditional Tulalip greeting, a warm expression of welcome and friendship,
harmony and hospitality. It’s a greeting that says you are our guest, you are under our roof, you are
part of our family. And we will do everything possible to ensure your stay with us is as comfortable
and as enjoyable as possible. Welcome!
The Meaning
of
Tulalip
In 1855, with the signing of the Point
Elliott Treaty, the Snohomish, Snoqualmie,
Skykomish and other Pacific Northwest
allied tribes settled what is now the
Tulalip Reservation. In the Lushootseed
Salish language, the word for Tulalip is
dxwlilap, which means “small-mouthed
bay,” a description of the body of water
on the western boundary of our home.
Tulalip Comfort
Part of Tulalip hospitality is making you feel right at home. Perhaps we’ve done our job too well.
After all, our guests never want to leave. And no wonder. Our 370 rooms are luxuriously spacious, a
perfect balance of contemporary style and traditional Northwest Coast Salish artwork and textures.
With king-sized beds and 47-inch flat screen HDTVs, bathrooms with Italian tile and granite counter
tops, it’s easy to get lost in all this comfort. Still, we encourage guests to explore the rest of the resort!
Tulalip Luxury From the first moment a guest experiences one of our spacious suites, one thought
immediately comes to mind: This is where luxury comes to stay. Our 18 Orca Suites balance elegance
with art, style with comfort. From a baby grand piano to a full-size pool table to a 65-inch flat screen
HDTV, our five Specialty Suites combine luxurious surroundings with contemporary amenities to
provide truly unique and unforgettable experiences.
A P a tt e r n
o f D i s c ov e ry
From the Oasis pool and waterfalls to
cabaret entertainment, our guests find
there’s something new to discover around
every corner. Even hallway carpets tell a
story. Overall, the pattern pays homage
to the tribe’s traditional cedar basket
designs.The large black,V-shaped pattern
represents mountains; the small, black
diamonds represent lakes, and the large
black and red rectangles and triangles
represent bear tracks.
Tulalip Serenity
T Spa Tulalip tribes hold a profound reverence for nature, a respect for the balance among mind,
body, heart and spirit. This sense of harmony now lives in T Spa, where relaxation and renewal reside.
Guests are greeted with soothing sounds and pleasing aromas. Sixteen treatment rooms await you
with such services as stress-relieving deep tissue massage, relaxing manicures and pedicures, and
native-inspired rituals and therapies. Enjoy eucalyptus steam rooms, cedar saunas and grotto showers.
River rocks, wide bamboo floors, serene candles and natural foliage all contribute to a feeling of “ahhhh.”
A Source
of
Balance
and Elegance
From the wide plank flooring in T Spa
to an entryway and garden of moss and
rock in the Grand Asian Suite to beautiful gilt frames in the Pan Asian Suite,
bamboo plays an elegant role at Tulalip
Resort. Even our linens are made of 100%
bamboo, offering a feeling of comfort, as
well as luxury, to our guests for a peaceful
night’s sleep.

and bones. Players use sleight of hand to

the correct bone.Wagers are placed, points
are awarded, all to the accompaniment of
drumming and singing to build excitement.

salmon” that leads salmon to the tribes.

certification, it must separate itself from
all others in all facets of the dining
experience—food, beverage, service and
environment. DiRoNa winners consistently provide exceptional quality, value,
and memorable dining overall. We are
proud to say that Tulalip Bay Restaurant
has been so honored.
