6-14 SS Cabela's

 Disneyland for hunting and fishing enthusiasts is coming to Tulalip, Wash. If you’re a sportsman living up in  North West Washington state, strike up the band.

Cabela’s Incorporated calls themselves the World’s Foremost Outfitter of hunting, fishing and outdoor gear and it’s awfully difficult to argue with that. The Tulalip Tribes, situated on the coast of the state of Washington, recently announced they were bringing the Cabela’s retail experience to customers in Tulalip, and the surrounding area.

Cabela’s expects to open the Tulalip store in 2012. The 110,000-square-foot store will be located within Quil Ceda Village on the Tulalip Tribes Indian reservation adjacent to Marysville about 30 miles north of Seattle along Interstate 5.  Here is Teresa Meece,  marketing director for Quil Ceda Village: “Quil Ceda Village was established in 2001 as the first federally recognized tribal city in the country. Land on the reservation is leased. Once you find somebody it has to be a perfect fit. They are going to be here for a long time. Cabela’s came to the table and we knew instantly that they were the perfect fit. It brings a different group of people here.

This will be the second Cabela’s store in Washington, joining the Lacey location opened in 2007. The company operates 33 stores throughout the United States and Canada. The inside will highlight the company’s next-generation layout, which includes conservation-themed wildlife displays and trophy animal mounts. Construction is expected to start later this year.
