AIRWAY HEIGHTS, Wash. – Northern Quest Casino is celebrating its 25th anniversary with a year-long series of events in 2026.
Opened by the Kalispel Tribe of Indians in December 28, 2000, the casino has grown into a major entertainment destination in the Pacific Northwest.
According to the Kalispel Tribe, the casino generates more than $275 million annually for Spokane County and has grown from 50 employees to 1,700.
“To reach 25 years is a powerful moment for our Tribe and for Northern Quest,” said Nick Pierre, General Manager of Northern Quest Resort & Casino and a Kalispel Tribal Council Member. “This property exists because of the support of our community. Its success has allowed us to take care of our people, invest in the Spokane region, and welcome guests with the kind of hospitality our Tribe has always believed in. This anniversary is about honoring where we’ve been and looking ahead to what’s next.”
Throughout the year, Northern Quest will host a series of events, including Quest for the Million, a giveaway culminating in a $1 million cash prize on January 1, 2027. Other anniversary elements include themed gaming tables, dining offers and special entertainment events.
“Our goal has always been to be the premier entertainment choice for this community,” Pierre said.
