Dick’s Drive-In Announces New Restaurant on the Tulalip Reservation

Recently opened Everett Dick’s Drive-In.

Dick’s Drive-In Restaurants announced today that its next restaurant will be located on the Tulalip Reservation across from the Quil Ceda Creek Casino.

The new restaurant will bring Dick’s Drive-In’s instant service; fresh-never-frozen, high-quality beef burgers; hand-cut fries made from Washington potatoes; and hand-dipped, individually whipped milkshakes to the Tulalip and Marysville communities. The location continues Dick’s sustainable regional growth and reflects the company’s long-standing commitment to serving communities across the Puget Sound region.

The new Dick’s Drive-In is just off the Downtown Marysville exit 199.

“It is such a pleasure to work with the Tulalip Tribe on this restaurant,” said Jasmine Donovan, President and CEO of Dick’s Drive-In Restaurants. “It’s wonderful to partner with a community that shares our values and understands multigenerational stewardship.”

“Dick’s Drive-In has been a beloved Pacific Northwest institution for more than 70 years, and we are honored to welcome them as a new business to Tulalip,” said Tulalip Tribe Board of Directors Chairman Hazen Shopbell. “This partnership reflects shared values of community investment, quality employment, and long-term regional growth.”
