SEQUIM — The Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe announced Friday the opening date of their brand new 7 Cedars Resort, which sits adjacent to the 7 Cedars Casino in Blyn.

Guests can check into the five-story, 100-room hotel beginning Tuesday, August 4. They’ll be greeted by a 42-foot totem pole, which carver Nathan Gilles has named “Welcome to the Land of Sea to Sky”.

Art featured in the hotel is by Coast Salish artists and Pacific Northwest photographers from all over the region.

Along with a large lobby, the first floor has conference and banquet space, administrative offices, and the Jamestown Java Coffee Shop.

The 100 rooms on the four upper floors offer a choice of King, Double Queen, King Suites, Executive Suites, and one-bedroom Corner Suites, all designed with themes they call Cedar Forest, Salish Sea, and Canoe Journey.

Reservations are being taken now. Check-in time on August 4 is 4:00 pm.
