What’s the first thing you do when you get to your hotel room after you check in? If you’re anything like us, the kids do a mandatory hop on the bed, we do a tour of the beautiful furnishings - like this bathtub that’s bigger than any tub I’ve ever seen - and you check out the epic view from the penthouse balcony. Clearwater Casino Resort is perfectly situated between Poulsbo and Bainbridge on a waterfront bluff overlooking the Puget Sound and we can’t recommend it highly enough. Whether you’re here for the gaming, the entertainment, the restaurants, or you just wanna swim in the pool and jump on the bed like our kids…Clearwater does not disappoint!
