Most on here don't remember, too young but we had pinball machines, pull tabs, cards rooms every where.....then in 1970 the voters of this State said NO TO LEGALIZE GAMBLING........there went the pull tabs, pinball machines, and most of the card rooms. WE could have had Reno/Vegas type gambling but it was not to be......

Tribes, not so righteous.....got'um all the Casinos and lots of $$$$$$$$$

Makah tribe, had a legal Whale hunt in May 1999. As I remember, they used "long boat", and chased whales but never got close enough to kill with a harpoon.....so they cheated just a bit, used a 50 caliber to kill a whale. There was such a uproar that there has not been one since.

I'd like to see Washington State have legal Casino gambling.....would sure help with a new better tax base, which we need.

I read the comments about "never going to a tribal casino" or smoke shop but I'm here to tell you there are 10's of thousands of your neighbors that are going, and spend LOTS OF $$$$$$$$$$$ and don't pay the taxes because they are tribes......
