This is the view from the non-smokers room, looking toward the room where smoking was permitted.
I played Bingo as a child, with little cards and plastic disks. I think it was so that I could learn my numbers. Last night, a friend asked me to go with her to play the adult version of the game at the Tulalip Bingo Hall. Since I had never gone to such a place before, I did not really know what to expect. Would I find lots of old ladies, with glittery jewelry and bright clothing? Would it actually be a gambling place?
I didn’t have to bet on anything, so to me, it was just a game and a fun night out with my friend. Amanda had played before, so she gave me a little guidance. We walked into a smoky room filled with long tables and surrounded by big screens on the walls where the numbers would display. People lined up in front of several windows where Bingo cards could be purchased, and game schedules obtained.
The room was partitioned into two main parts; one for smokers, and the other, for non-smokers like Amanda and me. Before we could claim our seats, though, I had to buy a “dauber” from the concession stand. It is a fat pen-like container of colored ink with a soft pad at the top, and when worked like a stamp on the paper, it leaves a mark. They come in all colors, including ones with sparkles! I bought a blue one for $1.00. My Bingo cards cost $19.00, so, after buying the dauber, I was set for an evening of fun for $20.00.

I would definitely recommend Tulalip Bingo Hall to everybody who loves to play bingo and is yet not old enough to gamble yet. November 25, 2008.
I was surprised at the age spread of the participants. Instead of finding the majority of them in the “old” category, people ranged from 18 years of age to well above 90. Some were eating fancy desserts, or other delicious looking snacks while they played. It was all I could do just to concentrate on the cards in front of me, so I did not buy any snacks! Some of the games used 4 sets of numbers per page. Others used 6. Dauber in hand, I watched the numbers on the screen and heard them called out, stamping a blue circle on each number called.
Needless to say, I did not win any of the games! But I didn’t care. I was not there to win. I was there to have a new experience, which was a spontaneous one for me, unplanned and not considered until Amanda asked. And I said, “Why not?”

This is part of what I am trying to do with these “100 New Places.” I want to keep my life interesting by doing new things I have never done before.
May you keep your life interesting with each passing day!

As signatories, we agreed to cede title to our ancestral lands which expanded to the top of the Cascade Mountains, north to Vancouver Island and south to Oregon. In return, the treaty reserved the Tulalip Indian Reservation as our permanent homeland over which we have retained inherent sovereign jurisdiction.
