Dicks Drive-In breaks ground on new Tulalip location

EVERETT — Around 100 people gathered to watch representatives from the Tulalip Tribes and Dick’s Drive-In break ground Monday on the newest location of the Seattle chain — and partake in free cheeseburgers.

On Wednesday, Dick’s Drive-In announced it would be serving its classic burger menu at a new location on the Tulalip Indian Reservation. Five days later, standing on the gravel lot that would soon become the burger joint’s new home, members of the Tribes’ board of directors spoke about their excitement over the collaboration.

“We look forward to seeing this site transformed into a place where families gather, employees build careers and visitors experience the hospitality that makes Tulalip special,” said Deborah Parker, the vice chair of the Tulalip Tribes board of directors, in her speech Monday.

Located across from the Quil Ceda Creek Casino, the 33rd Avenue Northeast site will be the third Dick’s Drive-In restaurant in the county and the 11th overall. The Tulalip location will be the more than seven-decade-old burger franchise’s first on a reservation.
