The state legislature gave tribes exclusivity for this form of gambling. The agreement likely augurs similar arrangements being reached for other tribal casinos across Washington. The Washington State Gambling Commission and the Tulalip Tribes announced a tentative agreement Friday to usher in legal sports betting to a limited degree.
It will be inside one of the two Tulalip tribal casinos alongside Interstate 5 north of Everett.
Nearly a year after the Washington Legislature voted to legalize sports betting, terms have been agreed for the first sportsbook to open.
