TACOMA, Wash., June 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Emerald Queen Casino & Hotel (EQC), owned and operated by the Puyallup Tribe of Indians, and the Tacoma Dome are proud to announce a new five-year partnership, with EQC becoming the official casino hotel partner of the iconic South Sound venue.

The partnership celebrates shared commitments to entertainment and community engagement in Tacoma and the greater Pacific Northwest, while honoring the rich history and cultural contributions of the Puyallup Tribe. Along with being a preferred hotel partner, Tacoma Dome will provide EQC with event tickets for its top-tier players.

"Emerald Queen Casino & Hotel has long been a destination for world-class entertainment, and partnering with the Tacoma Dome is a natural fit to amplify our offerings to the community and those visiting our area," said Yale Rowe, CEO at EQC.  

"Through this partnership, we'll bring more opportunities for the community to experience some of the best events the state has to offer," said Adam Cook, Director of Tacoma Venues & Events at the Tacoma Dome.

The Tacoma Dome, which celebrated 40 years of legendary entertainment in 2023, continues to serve as a cultural and economic driver for the region by hosting a wide variety of events that reflect the vibrancy and diversity of the South Sound. This broad lineup helped generate an estimated $70 million in economic impact in 2024.

Upcoming 2025 events reflect this continued diversity, including international music artists such as Ado (J-pop), A.R. Rahman (contemporary Indian), and ATEEZ (K-pop), as well as a range of genres and experiences including REZZ (dance), Sleep Token (British rock), Brandon Lake (Christian/Country), and Nate Bargatze (comedy).
