From Seattle, the nearest documented casino venue in these public reference sources is Suquamish Clearwater at 13.5 miles straight-line. Road distance is always longer than straight-line distance, and this article does not publish driving mileage or travel time.
Seattle is the fixed reference point here
The useful starting fact is that Seattle is the reference city in the distance matrix, not a single named venue from the query. That means this article can show which documented casino venues are nearest to Seattle in straight-line terms, but it cannot turn those figures into road miles, driving routes, or journey times.
Seattle is documented here at coordinates 47.60388889, -122.33. The venue set measured to this city contains 318 documented venues in the wider file, but that is not a complete count of casinos in Seattle, Washington, or any surrounding area.
Documented straight-line distances from Seattle
The table below lists every venue-to-Seattle pairing injected for this query. Each mileage is a great-circle measurement, meaning a direct line between coordinates rather than a road route.
| 参照点 | 直线英里 | 测量类型 |
|---|---|---|
| Suquamish Clearwater | 13.5 | great-circle |
| Snoqualmie | 23.5 | great-circle |
| Emerald Queen | 25.0 | great-circle |
| Quil Ceda Creek | 31.6 | great-circle |
| Angel Winds | 42.7 | great-circle |
| 7 Cedars | 42.8 | great-circle |
| Lucky Dog | 42.9 | great-circle |
Because these are straight-line measurements, they are best read as geographic orientation rather than trip planning figures. A venue that looks close on this list may still require a much longer real-world route once roads, bridges, shoreline shape, and network layout are taken into account.
Why straight-line and road distance diverge
Straight-line distance connects two coordinates directly across the map. Real travel has to follow available roads and crossings, so the traveled path bends around barriers instead of cutting through them.
In western Washington, water bodies are an obvious reason the two figures separate. A coordinate pair can be close as the crow flies while the practical route must curve around shorelines or use limited crossing points.
Terrain also matters. Hills, mountains, protected land, and settlement patterns shape where roads can be built, so the road network often does not mirror the simplest geographic line between Seattle and a casino property.
Jurisdictional boundaries can matter as well. Even when a venue is in the same state, the available access pattern may still require indirect routing because the road network was built to connect population centers rather than to preserve the shortest geometric path.
Where the nearest documented venues sit relative to Seattle
Only a few venues in this query have coordinate-level venue facts attached, so only those can be described precisely here. For the rest, this article can report their documented straight-line distance from Seattle, but not a more detailed directional placement.
Suquamish Clearwater is in Kitsap County, Washington, at coordinates 47.71229, -122.57099. Relative to Seattle's coordinates, that places it north and west of Seattle.
Snoqualmie is in Snoqualmie, Washington, at coordinates 47.51888889, -121.84194444. Relative to Seattle, that places it south and east of Seattle.
Emerald Queen in this query refers to the documented property in Fife, Washington, at coordinates 47.242133, -122.352771. Relative to Seattle, that places it south and slightly west of Seattle.
The Emerald Queen entry also carries a caution: the name matches more than one mapped venue, so figures for one property should not be transferred to another. In this article, only the Fife, Washington entry is being described.
What is documented for the named venues here
This is a geography-led article, so the most dependable use of the venue facts is to identify place, ownership structure where documented, and a few facility figures that are explicitly published in the reference material. Publicly published reference sources can change over time as venues expand, rebuild, or rebrand.
| Venue | Documented place | Documented field | Published figure |
|---|---|---|---|
| Suquamish Clearwater | Kitsap County, Washington | Slot machines | 1200 |
| Suquamish Clearwater | Kitsap County, Washington | Owner | Port Madison Enterprises |
| Snoqualmie | Snoqualmie, Washington | Slot machines | 1,700 |
| Snoqualmie | Snoqualmie, Washington | Hotel rooms | 210 |
| Snoqualmie | Snoqualmie, Washington | Table games | 54 |
| Snoqualmie | Snoqualmie, Washington | Opened | November 6, 2008 |
| Emerald Queen | Fife, WA | Documented here | Name and coordinates only |
That difference in detail matters. For Suquamish Clearwater and Snoqualmie, the reference sources include some venue-specific structural fields; for Emerald Queen here, they do not extend beyond the property identification and coordinates for the Fife entry.
How to use this if your real question is “which casino is closest to Seattle?”
On the injected Seattle distance list, Suquamish Clearwater is the nearest documented venue at 13.5 miles straight-line. The next documented entries are Snoqualmie at 23.5 miles straight-line and Emerald Queen at 25.0 miles straight-line.
That is enough to compare geographic closeness in a consistent way, but not enough to tell you which would be the shortest drive from your exact starting point. Once your origin changes from downtown Seattle to another neighborhood, suburb, ferry-connected area, or workplace, the road answer can change even when the straight-line ranking stays the same.
If you need a real trip plan, use the venue name together with its documented city and state on a current mapping service, then measure from your own live starting point. That will account for your exact origin, current road network, and any water or terrain constraints that a straight-line table cannot capture.
What to confirm before you go
Before setting out, confirm the items that can change and that are not published in this article: the exact mapped entrance for the property, current operating hours, parking arrangements, hotel availability where relevant, and any venue-specific access notices. The authoritative place to check is the venue's own website, booking page if it has lodging, or guest services contact page.
You should also confirm that you are looking at the right property when a venue name is reused across more than one location. That is especially important for Emerald Queen, because the documented reference note explicitly warns that the name can match more than one mapped venue.
For a fuller and current list of casino venues in Washington rather than only the documented entries nearest Seattle shown here, consult the relevant state, provincial, or tribal gaming regulator. This reference file documents 318 venues measured to Seattle and 481 venues in total, but it is not a census of every casino in any jurisdiction.
FAQ
Which documented casino is closest to Seattle?
In the Seattle distance matrix used here, Suquamish Clearwater is the nearest documented venue at 13.5 miles straight-line. That does not mean it is the shortest drive from every starting point in the Seattle area, because road distance is always longer and depends on your exact origin and route options.
Can this article tell me the driving distance from Seattle to Snoqualmie or Emerald Queen?
No. This article only publishes great-circle distance figures that are explicitly documented for Seattle-to-venue pairs. It can say Snoqualmie is 23.5 miles straight-line and Emerald Queen is 25.0 miles straight-line, but it does not publish road mileage, driving time, or turn-by-turn routing.
Does this list include every casino in Seattle or Washington?
No. The reference file says it documents 318 venues measured to Seattle and 481 venues in total, and it also states that the set is not a complete list for any city, county, state, or country. For a complete current list, check the relevant gaming regulator rather than treating this page as a census.
