Snoqualmie Casino & Hotel Celebrates “the Beginnng of a New Era”

At the end of last week, Snoqualmie Casino & Hotel celebrated a landmark moment with the grand opening of its newly expanded resort. 

Formerly known simply as Snoqualmie Casino before the November 2024 rebranding, the property located in “scenic foothills” just minutes from Seattle now features a striking hotel tower, a full-service spa, indoor and outdoor pool decks, a 24/7 Drip coffee bar, and the a high-energy sports bar.

“We’re Just Getting Started”

“The grand opening marks the beginning of a new era for the Snoqualmie Casino & Hotel as we bring to the Snoqualmie Valley a new destination filled with luxury, relaxation and fun-filled excitement,” said chief executive officer Mary Lou Patterson about the $400 million expansion.

The CEO went on to call it “an unforgettable day” for their team, the Snoqualmie Tribe, and the local community. “We’re just getting started.”, Patterson added. 

The celebration began at 1:00 PM with a formal ribbon-cutting ceremony at the hotel’s porte cochère, attended by Tribal leaders, casino executives, and invited guests. 

During the day, attendees were allowed to explore the resort’s latest additions, including the Luxury Hotel Tower offering breathtaking views of the Cascade Mountains and Snoqualmie Valley, and the MoonRise Spa, which offers a full menu of signature treatments and serene spaces for relaxation.

Other points of attraction included the Drip Coffee Bar, which has been expanded with a second location, serving handcrafted beverages and bites.

At nightime, guests reunited to watch a first-of-its-kind drone show over the beautiful Snoqualmie Valley sky.
