Cabela's breaks ground at Quil Ceda Village

TULALIP — According to Tulalip Tribal Board members, the plot of land just north of the existing Quil Ceda Village and just south of the Tulalip Resort Hotel and Casino has sat empty for years because they've been waiting for just the right new development.

As Tribal members officially broke ground on the site with members of the Cabela's chain of hunting, fishing and outdoor supplies stores on Aug. 2, they agreed that Cabela's was the right choice, for Quil Ceda Village and beyond.

The projected 30-week construction period is aiming for an April opening of a 110,000-square-foot Cabela's store in April of next year. It would not only mark the second Cabela's store opening in the state of Washington, following that of the chain's Lacey location in 2007, but would also be the first on a Native American reservation.

Tulalip Tribal Chair Mel Sheldon Jr. was joined by Vice Chair Glen Gobin and fellow Tribal Board members Don Hatch Jr. and Marie Zackuse in praising both the foresight of their predecessors, in preserving the land for future use, and the hard work of fellow Tribal members in helping make their deal with Cabela's happen.

"We've learned a lot about each other," Sheldon said of working with Cabela's. "They've learned about our sovereignty and self-governance, and that business deals can be done with Tulalip. We're looking forward to a great relationship in the years ahead."

After Sheldon touted Cabela's as a good fit with the rest of Quil Ceda Village's businesses, Gobin agreed with him that Cabela's, like those other businesses, also contributes to the Tulalip Resort's status as a travel destination.
