The Cedars restaurant was open, and the fancy steakhouse and Asian food restaurants were open, but not the sports bar or buffet. The casino was non-smoking because of Covid rules, since everyone was required to mask up. The last time we stayed, we called security and they said they'd send someone out, but no one came. It's also a great place to overnight before getting repairs done if we're camping further out and need to be closer to town early in the morning. We have kids in the area and spend a few weeks every summer at various parks, and Tulalip is great if we get into town a day or two early - before our reservation starts - or if we want to stay an extra day after our reservation ends at the campground. Friends of mine saw a grey whale there the other day, stirring up bottom dirt and feeding (no guarantee: they went again today but could only hear but not see the whale).We've stayed at Tulalip Casino five times now, the most recent in August 2021. Jetty Island is a great stop for a few hours if you have the time but you may not. There are also several great places to eat in Everett when you're done for the day (Crocodile Cafe, Bobby's Hawaiian, Thai restaurant across from event center, Lombardi's or Anthony's on the waterfront, Scuttlebutt on the waterfront (brewery with burgers and fish and chips, great chowder but no view).

There are lots of good candy outlets there, but not lunch.

The food at the outlets is nothing special (at all). Kids can go in there but can't be unattended on the gambling floor. There are a couple of nice restaurants inside the casino and some interesting artwork at the casino, too. It is about half an hour to the Port Townsend/101 turnoff IF the Hood Canal drawbridge does not raise, which it rarely does but it could.ĭo not attempt this trip on a Sunday any time after 1pm (ferry waits can be 2 hours) or on the Monday of Labor Day at that time. The ferry ride itself is half an hour, plus at least 15 minutes loading and unloading. It is about an hour from the ferry to the outlets, maybe a little less if you are good with directions and the traffic is not rush hour.
