The Stillaguamish Indian Tribe’s Arlington casino is in the midst of a major expansion, with a grand opening set for before the end of the year, but it’s already experiencing a sharp increase in customers. The facility’s construction project will more than quadruple the size of the original casino.
“We’ve seen a nice increase since we announced the expansion,” Angel of the Winds General Manager Travis O’Neil said. Normally, the casino welcomes about 800,000 every year, but that number likely will be more this year, he said.
The expansion is a full-scale makeover, not a minor renovation, but O’Neil said the casino will continue to maintain its image as “the world’s friendliest, casino,” a motto casino officials publicize to compete with Tulalip Tribes’ resort and new hotel addition.
