It won’t benefit anybody if they don’t get their act together! We went there Sat. afternoon. Went to use the stairs.Couldn’t find any.The wait for the elevator was 20 minutes. The wait for a drink from the bar was 30 minutes.I could of been using that time GAMBLING!!! Not enough ATM machines. They had NOBODY picking up empty glasses between the machines or emptying ashtrays. What a pigsty.They shut down the women’s restroom to clean it!! Come on, no casino does that! The only thing they excelled at was making everybody wait in line. Come on casino people,hire some more help for God’s sake!

You know if the tribe wants to do some good for the valley they would clean up the junk yard and trash they allow dumped on Renig Rd. Near Sycamore Alley there is a plethora of junked cars, buses, trash and appliances that litter 30 acres owned by the Snoqualmie tribe. It is an embarrassment to our lovely community. I personally will never spend a dollar of my money in that casino as long as they continue to destroy our community with this toxic waste.
On the subject of the good this casino has already done for the valley, let’s not forget the additional businesses that will come to support the patrons. Like the pawn shop that just opened in downtown Snoqualmie. Yes, you are hearing sarcasm.

YES, the community will see benefits this tribe will look like they are helping the community out and the people will think that this is good for both the tribal member and community but what the community don’t know or want to know is that the LAWYERS like Matt Mattson and Pete Connick are really the ones benefiting they get more than the own members, For example I believe they are making friends in high places why not have a tribal member get to do this? Also they are benefiting with the old credit card, driving a nice car, dinning, golf sound like the tribal members our benefitting to me. Not these guy know exactly what they are doing. Its STAFF FIRST MEMBERS LAST. DO REALLY BELIEVE THAT THE COUNCIL COULD COME UP ON TO OUSTED TRIBAL MEMBERS? NO
