Tribal officials anticipate the expansion increasing staff from 450 to 550. The project was originally slated to begin in 2008, but tribe officials determined that a delay was needed due to the national financial downturn at that time, Jerry Allen said in a previous interview.

“It will make the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe regional leaders in the hospitality industry.” “It’s going to pave the way for economic growth across the peninsula,” Belding said. The tribe’s resort and Sequim hospitality businesses will be different enough, he said, to compliment each other, with some casino users not interested in paying higher resort prices.īelding and Ron Allen said the resort will help establish Blyn as a “gateway to the Olympic Peninsula.” Ron Allen previously said the tribe has received significant interest from Canadian casino users who would like to frequent 7 Cedars Casino but that, “They want to stay on the property,” he said, rather than stay in Sequim hotels. We see this as an opportunity to continue to extend those efforts that make a difference for our community.” “Everything we do is intended to benefit not just our people but the community that surrounds us. “The Olympic Peninsula is a part of our family,” he added. “Jamestown has looked at this project and everything we do as a partnership,” Ron Allen said at the ceremony. Second and third phases, Allen noted, will add 200 more rooms and large conference spaces, parking garage and an events center. “We want it to reflect Jamestown’s cultural motif,” he said. Ron Allen said in previous interviews that the idea of the overall design is to combine new technology with the tribe’s cultural themes.

“More than that, it’s going to be the first four-diamond property in the region.” “I think this project will be catalyst for future growth here at the 7 Cedars Campus,” Belding said.
