Washington and Tulalip reach tentative gaming compact update with modern safeguards

Washington state officials and the Tulalip Tribes of Washington have reached a tentative agreement on a new amendment to the Tribe’s Class III gaming compact, bringing decades of revisions into a single governing document while introducing several changes for casino operations and regulation. The Washington State Gambling Commission said the proposed twelfth amendment restates the original compact signed in 1991 and folds the first 11 amendments into one updated agreement.
