Although it’s only halfway built, a large glossy hotel at the Cowlitz Indian Reservation is holding promise of more visitors for neighbors in the region.
An array of Southwest Washington officials, entrepreneurs and casino-goers attended an update Monday revolving around the 14-story, nearly 300-room hotel set to open in 2023.
“It creates a hospitality option that we don’t have here in north Clark County,” said Jennifer Lindsay, mayor of nearby Ridgefield. “It’s a great opportunity for the city to drive economic growth.”
The event also served to celebrate the casino’s fifth anniversary. The hotel – currently a glass-and-concrete construction site – served as the backdrop for guest speakers, while roughly a hundred in attendance sat outside under the casino’s portico.
