The final steel beam for Muckleshoot Casino was put into place, marking the end of the initial construction on the resort that is expected to open in the fall of 2023.
The 1,000-pound, 25-foot-long beam, full of signatures from Muckleshoot Indian Tribal members as well as the men and women who built the 18-story structure, was put into place and accompanied by fireworks.
The project is now the tallest structure between Seattle and Tacoma, Washington.
Muckleshoot Casino Chief Executive Officer John James commented: "Under the stewardship of the Muckleshoot Tribe, we're creating a resort destination where memories will be made.
"Our commanding hotel tower, already drawing regional attention with its proud silhouette against the skyline, will be a beacon for the exceptional. From the excitement of more ways to play to the warmth of elevated guest service, we will be the preferred central gathering point to dine, play and stay."
The resort will feature approximately 400 guestrooms, expanded gaming, an indoor pool, spa services, and a rooftop steakhouse. A Caesars Sportsbook was also revealed to be featured within the Muckleshoot Casino.
Muckleshoot Casino Chief Operating Officer Tyrone Simmons: "Piece by piece, we are building towards an exciting new standard for regional tourism.
"The addition of a dynamic resort experience to Muckleshoot Casino exemplifies the Muckleshoot Tribe's commitment and dedication to developing unmatched destinations."
The resort will also feature 157,000 square feet of continuous gaming and 29,000 total square feet of event space.
The Muckleshoot Casino project has been powered by 500 workers and is under the management of general contractor Swinerton.
