It is one of two Native American casinos in the county. HistoryThe land on which the Clearwater Casino is sited was purchased by the Suquamish in 1988 and, early on, hosted a tribal smoke shop. In 1992 the Suquamish tribe opened a bingo hall on the site. This was followed by a fabric tent housing a small casino in 1995. A permanent casino building was constructed in 2003, followed by an 85-room hotel in 2006.[1] As of 2015 a further expansion is underway designed to increase convention and meeting space and grow hotel capacity by an additional 98 rooms.[2] Initially the land on which the casino was located was tribal-owned, but not part of the designated tribal trust lands. As such, property taxes were paid by the Suquamish to Kitsap County. A 1991 attempt by the tribe to re-designate the site as tribal territory failed due to the presence of liens on the property. The tribe began another attempt to have the casino property re-designated trust land in 2003, a process that finally saw fruition in 2009. Prior to the transfer, local government officials estimated the re-designation would cost the county approximately $458,000 per year in lost tax revenue.[3] FeaturesGamingAccording to the casino, it operates more than 1200 slot machines, as well as keno and table games such a roulette and craps. The casino also has a poker room.[4] Economic impactIn 2007, trade magazine Indian Gaming reported the tribe's several businesses, of which the casino is the largest, created a local economic impact of more than $138 million.[5] See also
