Angel of the Winds Casino Resort is a casino and hotel operated by the Stillaguamish Tribe of Indians near Arlington, Washington, US. The casino opened in 2004 and was expanded to include a 125-room hotel in 2015.
History[edit]
The Stillaguamish Tribe, a party to the Treaty of Point Elliott of 1855, became federally recognized in 1976, but lacked a reservation and had limited revenue from small commercial ventures.[1] In November 2002, the 200 member tribe announced plans to build a casino under the states's enhanced tribal gambling law passed two years earlier.[2] The selected site, on the tribe's trust lands along 35th Avenue Northeast near Interstate 5 west of Arlington, drew backlash from nearby residents concerned about traffic impacts and the loss of the area's rural character.[2] The Tribe planned to demolish 30 homes on a 20-acre (8.1 ha) property it owned, asking members living there to relocate with property buybacks. Plans called for the use of a controlled burn by the Bryant Fire Department to raze the site, allowing firefighters to train during the demolition, but the proposal was withdrawn.[3][4] The $36 million casino project was initially planned to be funded by a loan from a Las Vegas investor though a Michigan pension fund,[5] but the investor's refusal to submit documents to the Washington State Gambling Commission delayed the project indefinitely in May 2003.[6]
A $19 million loan from the Marshall Bank was announced in January 2004, reviving the project. The casino, named 'Angel of the Winds', was scaled down from 40,000 square feet (3,700 m2) to 22,000 square feet (2,000 m2).[7] It was redesigned to be a temporary venue, with modular elements that could be sold off once the tribe opened a permanent casino near Smokey Point.[8][9] The Angel of the Winds Casino opened on October 28, 2004, with 425 slot machines and 10 to 12 game tables. The opening of Angel of the Winds came a few weeks after the Tulalip Tribes reopened the competing Quil Ceda Creek Casino in Marysville as a local alternative to the larger Tulalip Casino.[10] During its full year of operation, the casino generated nearly $30 million in revenue for the Stillaguamish Tribe.[11] The tribe was asked by the Washington State Department of Transportation to remove a billboard on Interstate 5 advertising the casino, after outcry from residents opposed to the casino.[12]
A $44 million expansion to the casino was completed in December 2008, increasing the number of slot machines to 1,000 and the interior space to 57,000 square feet (5,300 m2).[13] A second, $27 million expansion completed in January 2015 added a five-story hotel with 125 rooms and a smoke shop.[14] The Angel of the Winds Casino and surrounding land formed the Stillaguamish Tribe's designated reservation, approved by the Bureau of Indian Affairs in 2014.[15]
In December 2017, the Stillaguamish Tribe signed a 10-year, $3.4 million naming rights deal to sponsor the Angel of the Winds Arena in Everett.[16]
The casino announced a $60 million expansion program in 2018, which will add 300,000 square feet (28,000 m2) of space, including more gaming space, a restaurant, and a parking garage for 575 vehicles.[17] The first section of the expansion, an expanded gaming floor and bar, opened in September 2019, followed by a bowling alley and 8,800-square-foot (820 m2) events center.[18][19]
The casino was closed for two months during the COVID-19 pandemic and became the first in Western Washington to reopen, doing so on May 13, 2020, with limited capacity and temperature checks. The casino also introduced a no-smoking policy for the entire building.[20]

Angel of the Winds Casino Expansion Update
August 9, 2019
After 18 months of new construction, Angel of the Winds Casino is nearing the completion on its massive expansion project that started in January 2018. The $60 million project is adding 300,000 square feet for more gaming area, more restaurants and new entertainment venues.
Yesterday the casino celebrated the completion and opening of two major additions. The expanded gaming floor was opened with more slot machines and table games, and a new three-story parking structure was opened with 575 vehicle spaces.
More new features, such as entertainment and dining venues, will be unveiled between now and October when Angel of the Winds Casino celebrates the grand opening of this expansion project at the same time as it celebrates its 15th anniversary.
CASINO
The new casino floor was officially opened Aug 8. It added 275 more slot machines and 15 more table games. Total slots are now 1,425 and table games are 24. The new gaming area also has the new Gravity Bar.
RESTAURANTS
Angel Of The Winds Casino Ceo
Three new restaurants will open soon. The Whiskey Prime Steakhouse is an upscale dining venue, the new Riverside Buffet will replace Watershed Buffet, and On the Rocks Lounge will be replaced by Jade Fusion and its Southeast Asian cuisine.
RIVER RUN EVENT CENTER
This is a 9,000-square-foot venue for live entertainment, music concerts, conventions and dinner receptions. The first concert will be Aug 30 and feature artist John Michael Montgomery.

The new 16-lane bowling alley will open before the end of this month. It is the first to open inside a Washington Indian casino and the first to open in Snohomish County in decades.
Strikerz offers standard bowling and 'hyperbowling'. Hyperbowling uses 'dazzling random lights on gutters and colorful targets on bumpers to hit - or avoid - to multiply scores for the number of pins knocked down.'
A unique feature is a video screen located above the pins and extending across all lanes. The screen will show video from concerts in the Rivers Run Event Center.
