"It's not open yet, but Colville Casinos changed it's reopen date to May 19th, confirmed with this link - http://colvillecasinos.com/covid-19-prevention/ - I wrote to you before but they hadn't changed the date until yesterday. 90+% of our patrons are 65 and up, plus gambling is addictive! If they open the doors, people will come who might not BECAUSE of their addiction, plus it's a social thing and we have a very friendly staff. But is it essential? Absolutely not...by FAR, and many people come to our casino, including many daily. As you know, the Chelan, Washington area is known as a fantastic destination people come from all around, and many from beyond Washington state as well, of course. Please, I beg of you, Governor Inslee, I know this is not what you want so very fast, please intervene with the tribal council. The Colville Tribes casinos (all 3 opening up May 19th - Coulee Dam, Omak, and Chelan/Manson) are full of germs! As much as maintenance crews would try, I wouldn't conceive that they could keep all those coronavirus possibilities at bay, especially with the air ventilation system. They're even saying there will be a limited supply of masks available for the patrons. Ahhh!!! As you know, this could have horrendous ripple effects in our state and beyond. Many of us have done so well with prevention thus far (it's been a month since I've gone anywhere), I don't want to have a ruinous backward effect. Thank you for anything and everything you can do on this - I am grateful for your 4 phase plan and want to see that carried out, even with the naysayers! I am a hostess at the restaurant inside the Chelan casino (that won't be opening yet on May 19th), but I want to fight for the great crew we have and our beloved patrons, plus for all the lives the afformentioned people's individual communities - including their families, friends, etc. Thank you very much for all you are doing and your true dilligence, Governor." - Rebecca Callahan
