The Cedar Room
Dry-aged beef, an oyster tower, and the best wine list north of the city. Reservations recommended.
On the shores of Puget Sound
The water on one side. Everything else on the other.
Gaming floors that look out over the Sound, five kitchens worth crossing a bridge for, and a resort that stays open long after the tide turns.
Emerald Shores sits where the forest meets the water an hour north of Seattle. Eleven hundred people work here — dealers and cooks, housekeepers and sound engineers, security officers who know every regular by name.
Gaming
Room to play, and room to breathe
Eighteen hundred machines across two floors, from penny reels to high-limit. Forty tables running blackjack, craps, roulette and pai gow, with a dealer who will happily teach you if you have never played.
The poker room runs daily tournaments and a cash game that rarely stops before three.

Dining
Five kitchens, one shoreline
Everything from a two-hour dinner to a plate of oysters between hands.
Low Tide
Whatever came off the boat this morning, cooked simply, eaten looking at the water it came from.
Shoreline Market
Six stations, a carvery, and a dessert counter that has ended more diets than it should have.
Stay
Three hundred rooms, most of them facing the water
Quiet floors, deep baths and blackout curtains that mean it — because a good night here often starts late. Suites on the upper floors have a terrace and a view that goes all the way to the islands.
The spa opens at seven. The pool is heated year round, which in this part of the world matters.
Entertainment
A room built for sound
The Amphitheatre seats two and a half thousand and was designed by people who care about acoustics rather than sightlines alone. Touring acts through the summer, comedy most weekends, and a lounge stage that runs free live music six nights a week.
Careers
Eleven hundred people work here. We are looking for a few more.
Dealers, cooks, housekeepers, engineers, security officers. Full training, real progression, and a shift pattern written by someone who has worked one.
