The Nooksack Tribe will reopen its Northwood Casino to the public on Monday, June 1.
The casino will reopen at 9 a.m Monday with safety protocols that will include taking the temperature of everyone entering Northwood, reduced hours to allow for sanitizing, mask-wearing requirements for employees and guests, physical-distancing guides on floors, and Plexiglass dividers between slot machines and at the table games, according to an announcement on Tuesday night, May 26.
Its Chefs restaurant will be open for dining, but its Prime Buffet and Thirst Bar will remain closed for now, the announcement said.
A limited number of table games will be open to ensure physical distancing, according to the announcement.

The tribe closed its casino at 9750 Northwood Road, north of Lynden, on March 17, saying it wouldn’t reopen until the COVID-19 outbreak was under control in Washington state.
A week later, its tribal council approved a shelter-in-place order for all people living on tribal trust land. The council has extended that order until noon Sunday, May 31.
No tribal members have tested positive for the new coronavirus, according to the tribe’s Monday, May 26, public health memo. Its Nooksack Health Clinic has conducted 348 tests — with 316 negative results and 32 pending.
A large portion of those tests occurred last week, when its health clinic nurses conducted 118 drive-thru COVID-19 tests in one day, primarily for Nooksack staff as part of what the tribe called its safe start back-to-work plan, the tribe said on its communications page on Facebook.
