Snoqualmie Tribe

What Snoqualmie Tribe does

The Snoqualmie Indian Tribe is a federally recognized sovereign tribal nation headquartered in Snoqualmie, Washington (approximately 30 minutes from downtown Seattle), operating under a Constitution elected General Membership and a Tribal Council. The Tribe operates a diversified portfolio of wholly-owned business enterprises organized under the New Moons Corporation and Snoqualmie Entertainment Authority. Core operations include Snoqualmie Casino & Hotel (over 2,000 slot machines, 58 table games, Washington's first sportsbook, five dining venues, and a 210-room luxury hotel and spa added in 2025), Salish Lodge & Spa (luxury destination atop sacred Snoqualmie Falls, acquired 2019), Eighth Generation (Native-owned wool blanket, jewelry, and home decor retailer with Seattle storefront and e-commerce, acquired 2019), Crescent Market at Snoqualmie (convenience store and gas station, rebranded 2017), Fireweed Cannabis Company (tribally-owned retail dispensary launched 2024), and the Snoqualmie Indian Tribe Child Development Center (operated with Bright Horizons, capacity 70 children). In parallel, the Tribe functions as a sovereign government delivering comprehensive services to enrolled members, including healthcare (Snoqualmie Behavioral Health, Raging River Recovery Center, Purchased and Referred Care under IHS), education support, housing assistance (HUD rental/utility, down-payment, repair), elder nutrition and in-home care, Indian Child Welfare, emergency assistance, cultural programs (canoe journey, harvesting, language), and traditional cultural and recreation (TCR) benefits. Revenue mechanics mix transaction-fee gaming/hospitality (Snoqualmie Casino, Salish Lodge) with goods retail (Eighth Generation, Crescent Market, Fireweed Cannabis) and federal-grant-funded member services. The customer base spans Puget Sound regional consumers for commercial enterprises and a captive enrolled-member population for government services across a five-county area (King, Snohomish, Pierce, Island, Mason).
