Suquamish Clearwater Casino Resort: fixed location and straight-line distance guide

Suquamish Clearwater Casino Resort sits 13.5 miles from Seattle in straight-line distance. Road distance is longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time.

Fixed position of the venue

The venue documented here is Suquamish Clearwater Casino Resort, also referred to in publicly published reference sources as Clearwater Casino. Its documented position is in Kitsap County, Washington, at latitude 47.71229 and longitude -122.57099.

That matters because the venue's position is fixed, while a reader's starting point can vary. A distance article is most reliable when it begins with the place that does not move: the venue itself.

Where it sits in Washington

Publicly published reference sources place the property in Kitsap County, Washington. From the coordinates alone, it is in the Northern Hemisphere and west of the prime meridian, which is consistent with a location in the western United States and specifically with the documented state of Washington.

The coordinates also let you describe relative position in simple directional terms. A point at 47.71229 latitude is north of lower-latitude places, and a point at -122.57099 longitude is west of places with less negative or positive longitude values; beyond that, this article stays with the documented county and state rather than inventing unsupported local bearings.

Documented straight-line distances

The figures below are great-circle measurements from the venue to each published reference point. They are useful for understanding broad geographic separation, but they are not road miles and should not be read as trip planning mileage.

Why straight-line distance and real travel distance differ

A straight-line figure is the shortest path over the earth's surface between two coordinates. Real journeys follow transport networks, property access roads, coastlines, bridges, ferry links, one-way systems, and settlement patterns, so the route people can use is longer than the geometric line.

For a venue in Kitsap County, water is an especially important reason not to confuse straight-line distance with what a traveller will cover on the ground. Even without publishing any specific road or ferry routing, it is enough to say that shorelines, crossings, and road layout can force detours that a great-circle measurement does not show.

Terrain also changes the usable path. Hills, protected land, built-up areas, and the basic shape of the road grid all make practical travel deviate from the direct line between two plotted points.

Crossing state lines can add more complexity in some trips because route choice is shaped by the road network available in each jurisdiction. That does not change the straight-line number itself, but it is another reason a mileage figure in this table should not be read as a driving figure.

Scale of the property in published references

Publicly published reference sources describe the property as a casino and hotel in Kitsap County, Washington. The same sources say it is owned by Port Madison Enterprises.

For facility scale, the documented gaming figure is more than 1200 slot machines. As with any property statistic, that is a published point-in-time figure rather than a guarantee about the exact present-day count.

How to use these distances if your starting point is different

If your own origin is not one of the published reference points in the table, this article cannot invent a new pair. The reliable way to measure is to take the venue coordinates, 47.71229 and -122.57099, and compare them with your own starting coordinates in a standard mapping tool that can display straight-line or great-circle distance.

That keeps the method consistent. You use the fixed position of the venue, then add your own movable starting point, rather than guessing from a city name that may refer to a wide metro area or an imprecise landmark.

What to confirm before you go

This article is about the venue's fixed location, not live operating details. Before travelling, confirm the property's current access information, parking arrangements, hotel availability, event schedules, and any venue-specific guest policies on the property's own official pages or through its guest services contact channel.

That matters because location stays stable while operational details can change. If you are matching this venue against another stop on the same trip, also confirm your own route in a live mapping service rather than relying on any straight-line figure shown here.

FAQ

Is Suquamish Clearwater Casino Resort in Seattle?

No. Publicly published reference sources place it in Kitsap County, Washington, not in Seattle. The published Seattle figure in this article is 13.5 miles in straight-line distance, which is useful for geographic orientation only and should not be treated as road mileage.

Can I use this article to know how far the drive is?

No. The table reports great-circle distance only. Road travel is always longer, and the gap exists because actual trips must follow the available network around water, terrain, and local street layout. For current road mileage, use a live mapping tool starting from your exact origin.

What is the main fixed-location fact to know about this venue?

The most important anchor is that the venue is documented in Kitsap County, Washington, at coordinates 47.71229, -122.57099. Once you start from that fixed point, the published straight-line distances to places such as Seattle, Portland, Reno, Las Vegas, and Washington DC become much easier to interpret correctly.
