Only property in Washington and just one of 16 elite hotel properties in the Western U.S. to earn top honors
TULALIP, Wash. (October 27, 2026) — Tulalip Resort Casino has been named one of only 16 elite hotel properties in the Western U.S. to win the 2026 Best of Meetings Today Award, an annual program highlighting the top meeting facilities and destination marketing organizations (DMOs) in North America.
Earning this recognition for the fourth straight year, Tulalip Resort Casino was the sole hotel property in Washington state to receive the honor. The award is given annually by meetings industry professionals, through voting by the Meetings Today’s audience and content team. The recognition adds to Tulalip Resort Casino’s extensive list of awards, including the state’s only resort casino earning the coveted AAA Four-Diamond status for 18 consecutive years.
Nomination criteria for the awards includes quality of meeting space, guest rooms, guest services and amenities, food and beverage service, efficiency and helpfulness of staff, availability and quality of technology, recreational facilities and activities, cleanliness, and overall value and experience. The criteria for nominating destinations was the overall service they provided to planners for their meetings and events.
News of the award came just as Tulalip Resort Casino announced the completion of a three-year casino expansion and renovation, including an impressive 70,250 square-foot addition with added gaming experiences, the spectacular new Center Bar and North Bar, dining venue upgrades, vibrant visual features, and other amenities.
“Winning this award for the fourth straight year is especially meaningful to our entire team,” said Tracy Goolsby, Interim Vice President of Hotel Operations. “It is recognition by our peers in the meetings industry of our dedication to excel in delivering meticulously planned, productive and creative events of all sizes.”
“In these times of escalating costs that may be a challenge both for meeting and event organizers as well as attendees, our 2026 Best of Meetings Today Awards will help event producers select destinations and venues that have demonstrated their value in the marketplace,” said Tyler Davidson, vice president and chief content director of Meetings Today. “By using this list as a reference, meeting and event planners can be assured their programs will be in tested, professional hands.”
